创43:10For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

创43:11And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

创43:12And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

创43:13Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

创43:14And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

创43:15And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

创43:16And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

创43:17And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

创43:18And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

创43:19And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

创43:20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

创43:21And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

创43:22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

创43:23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

创43:24And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

创43:25And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

创43:26And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

创43:27And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

创43:28And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

创43:29And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
