Genesis 44

1 Joseph's policy to stay his brethren. 14 Judah's humble supplication to Joseph.

 44:1 ¶ And he commanded 6680 z8762 x853 the steward x834 x5921 of his house, 1004 saying, 559 z8800 Fill 4390 z8761 x853 the men's y582 x376 sacks 572 [with] food, 400 as much as 834 they can 3201 z8799 carry, 5375 z8800 and put 7760 z8798 every man's 376 money 3701 in his sack's 572 mouth. 6310

 44:2 And put 7760 z8799 my cup, 1375 the silver 3701 cup, 1375 in the sack's 572 mouth 6310 of the youngest, 6996 and his corn 7668 money. 3701 And he did 6213 z8799 according to the word 1697 that x834 Joseph 3130 had spoken. 1696 z8765

 44:3 As soon as the morning 1242 was light, 215 z8804 the men y582 x376 were sent away, 7971 z8795 they x1992 and their asses. 2543

 44:4 [And] when they x1992 were gone out y3318 z8804 of x3318 x853 the city, 5892 [and] not x3808 [yet] far off, 7368 z8689 Joseph 3130 said 559 z8804 unto his steward, 1004 x834 x5921 Up, 6965 z8798 follow 7291 z8798 after 310 the men; y582 x376 and when thou dost overtake 5381 z8689 them, say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, Wherefore x4100 have ye rewarded 7999 z8765 evil 7451 for x8478 good? 2896

 44:5 [Is] not x3808 this x2088 [it] in which x834 my lord 113 drinketh, 8354 z8799 and whereby indeed y5172 z8763 he divineth? 5172 z8762 x1931 ye have done evil 7489 z8689 in so x834 doing. 6213 z8804

 44:6 ¶ And he overtook 5381 z8686 them, and he spake 1696 z8762 unto x413 them x853 these same 428 words. 1697

 44:7 And they said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Wherefore x4100 saith 1696 z8762 my lord 113 these x428 words? 1697 God forbid 2486 that thy servants 5650 should do 6213 z8800 x4480 according to this x2088 thing: 1697

 44:8 Behold, x2005 the money, 3701 which x834 we found 4672 z8804 in our sacks' 572 mouths, 6310 we brought again 7725 z8689 unto x413 thee out of the land 776 x4480 of Canaan: 3667 how x349 then should we steal 1589 z8799 out of thy lord's y113 house 1004 x4480 x113 silver 3701 or x176 gold? 2091

 44:9 With x854 whomsoever x834 of thy servants 5650 x4480 it be found, 4672 z8735 both let him die, 4191 z8804 and we x587 also x1571 will be x1961 my lord's 113 bondmen. 5650

 44:10 And he said, 559 z8799 Now x6258 also x1571 x3651 [let] it x1931 [be] according unto your words: 1697 y3651 he with x854 whom x834 it is found 4672 z8735 shall be x1961 my servant; 5650 and ye x859 shall be x1961 blameless. 5355

 44:11 Then they speedily 4116 z8762 took down 3381 z8686 every man 376 x853 his sack 572 to the ground, 776 and opened 6605 z8799 every man 376 his sack. 572

 44:12 And he searched, 2664 z8762 [and] began 2490 z8689 at the eldest, 1419 and left 3615 z8765 at the youngest: 6996 and the cup 1375 was found 4672 z8735 in Benjamin's 1144 sack. 572

 44:13 Then they rent 7167 z8799 their clothes, 8071 and laded 6006 z8799 every man 376 his ass, 2543 and returned 7725 z8799 to the city. 5892

 44:14 ¶ And Judah 3063 and his brethren 251 came 935 z8799 to Joseph's 3130 house; 1004 for he x1931 [was] yet x5750 there: x8033 and they fell 5307 z8799 before x6440 him y6440 on the ground. 776

 44:15 And Joseph 3130 said 559 z8799 unto them, What x4100 deed 4639 [is] this x2088 that x834 ye have done? 6213 z8804 wot x3045 ye y3045 z8804 not x3808 that x3588 such a man 376 as I x3644 can certainly y5172 z8763 divine? 5172 z8762

 44:16 And Judah 3063 said, 559 z8799 What x4100 shall we say 559 z8799 unto my lord? 113 what x4100 shall we speak? 1696 z8762 or how x4100 shall we clear ourselves? 6663 z8691 God 430 hath found out 4672 z8804 x853 the iniquity 5771 of thy servants: 5650 behold, x2009 we [are] my lord's 113 servants, 5650 both x1571 we, x587 and [he] also 1571 with whom 834 3027 the cup 1375 is found. 4672 z8738

 44:17 And he said, 559 z8799 God forbid 2486 that I should do 6213 z8800 x4480 so: 2063 [but] the man 376 in whose x834 hand 3027 the cup 1375 is found, 4672 z8738 he x1931 shall be x1961 my servant; 5650 and as for you, x859 get you up 5927 z8798 in peace 7965 unto x413 your father. 1

 44:18 ¶ Then Judah 3063 came near 5066 z8799 unto him, x413 and said, 559 z8799 Oh 994 my lord, 113 let thy servant, 5650 I pray thee, x4994 speak 1696 z8762 a word 1697 in my lord's 113 ears, 241 and let not x408 thine anger 639 burn 2734 z8799 against thy servant: 5650 for x3588 thou [art] even as x3644 Pharaoh. 6547

 44:19 My lord 113 asked 7592 z8804 x853 his servants, 5650 saying, 559 z8800 Have 3426 ye a father, 1 or x176 a brother? 251

 44:20 And we said 559 z8799 unto x413 my lord, 113 We have 3426 a father, 1 an old man, 2205 and a child 3206 of his old age, 2208 a little one; 6996 and his brother 251 is dead, 4191 z8804 and he x1931 alone x905 is left 3498 z8735 of his mother, 517 and his father 1 loveth 157 z8804 him.

 44:21 And thou saidst 559 z8799 unto x413 thy servants, 5650 Bring him down 3381 z8685 unto x413 me, that I may set 7760 z8799 mine eyes 5869 upon x5921 him.

 44:22 And we said 559 z8799 unto x413 my lord, 113 The lad 5288 cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 leave 5800 z8800 x853 his father: 1 for [if] he should leave 5800 z8804 x853 his father, 1 [his father] would die. 4191 z8804

 44:23 And thou saidst 559 z8799 unto x413 thy servants, 5650 Except 3808 x518 your youngest 6996 brother 251 come down 3381 z8799 with x854 you, ye shall see 7200 y3254 z0 my face 6440 no x3808 more. 3254 y7200 z8800 z8686

 44:24 And it came to pass x1961 when x3588 we came up 5927 z8804 unto x413 thy servant 5650 my father, 1 we told 5046 z8686 him x853 the words 1697 of my lord. 113

 44:25 And our father 1 said, 559 z8799 Go again, 7725 z8798 [and] buy 7666 z8798 us a little 4592 food. 400

 44:26 And we said, 559 z8799 We cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 go down: 3381 z8800 if x518 our youngest 6996 brother 251 be 3426 with x854 us, then will we go down: 3381 z8804 for x3588 we may 3201 z8799 not x3808 see 7200 z8800 the man's 376 face, 6440 except 369 our youngest 6996 brother 251 [be] with x854 us.

 44:27 And thy servant 5650 my father 1 said 559 z8799 unto x413 us, Ye x859 know 3045 z8804 that x3588 my wife 802 bare 3205 z8804 me two 8147 [sons]:

 44:28 And the one 259 went out 3318 z8799 from x4480 x854 me, and I said, 559 z8799 Surely y2963 z8800 x389 he is torn in pieces; 2963 z8776 and I saw x7200 him y7200 z8804 not x3808 since: 2008 x5704

 44:29 And if ye take 3947 z8804 x853 this x2088 also x1571 from 5973 x4480 me, 6440 and mischief 611 befall x7136 him, y7136 z8804 ye shall bring down 3381 z8689 x853 my gray hairs 7872 with sorrow 7451 to the grave. 7585

 44:30 Now x6258 therefore when I come 935 z8800 to x413 thy servant 5650 my father, 1 and the lad 5288 [be] not x369 with x854 us; seeing that his life 5315 is bound up 7194 z8803 in the lad's life; 5315

 44:31 It shall come to pass, x1961 when he seeth 7200 z8800 that x3588 the lad 5288 [is] not x369 [with us], that he will die: 4191 z8804 and thy servants 5650 shall bring down 3381 z8689 x853 the gray hairs 7872 of thy servant 5650 our father 1 with sorrow 3015 to the grave. 7585

 44:32 For x3588 thy servant 5650 became surety 6148 z8804 for x853 the lad 5288 unto 5973 x4480 my father, 1 saying, 559 z8800 If x518 I bring 935 z8686 him not x3808 unto x413 thee, then I shall bear the blame 2398 z8804 to my father 1 for ever. 3117 x3605

 44:33 Now x6258 therefore, I pray thee, x4994 let thy servant 5650 abide 3427 z8799 instead of x8478 the lad 5288 a bondman 5650 to my lord; 113 and let the lad 5288 go up 5927 z8799 with x5973 his brethren. 251

 44:34 For x3588 how 349 shall I go up 5927 z8799 to x413 my father, 1 and the lad 5288 [be] not x369 with x854 me? lest peradventure x6435 I see 7200 z8799 the evil 7451 that x834 shall come on 4672 z8799 x853 my father. 1
