CHAP. XLIII.
1 Iacob is hardly perswaded to send Beniamin. 15 Ioseph entertaineth his brethren. 31 Hee maketh them a feast.
1And the famine was sore in the land.
3And Iudah spake vnto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest vnto vs, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.3
4If thou wilt send our brother with vs, we will goe downe and buy thee food.
6And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7And they said, The man asked vs straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue yee another brother? and we tolde him according to the tenour of these words: Could we certainely knowe that he would say, Bring your brother downe?7
9I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not vnto thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.9
10For except we had lingred, surely now wee had returned this second time.10
13Take also your brother, and arise, goe againe vnto the man.
14And God Almightie giue you mercie before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Beniamin: If I be bereaued of my children, I am bereaued.14
16And when Ioseph sawe Beniamin with them, hee said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready: for these men shall dine with me at noone.16
17And the man did as Ioseph hade: and the man brought the men into Iosephs house.
18And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Iosephs house, and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sackes at the first time are we brought in, that hee may seeke occasion against vs, and fall vpon vs, and take vs for bondmen, and our asses.18
20And said, O Sir, we came indeed downe at the first time to buy food.20
23And he said, Peace be to you, feare not: your God, and the God of your father, hath giuen you treasure in your sackes: I had your money. And hee brought Simeon out vnto them.23
24And the man brought the men into Iosephs house, and gaue them water, and they washed their feete, and he gaue their asses prouender.24
27And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet aliue?27
31And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himselfe, and saide, Set on bread.
34And hee tooke and sent measses vnto them from before him: but Beniamins measse was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and were merry with him.34
