And he sent portions from before him unto them, and the portion of Benjamin exceeded the portions of them all, five-fold. And they drank and made merry with him.

Then commanded he him who was over his house saying - Fill the sacks of the men, with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack;

and my cup - the cup of silver, shalt thou put in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his corn-silver. So he did, according to the word of Joseph, which he had spoken.

By the time, the morning, was light, the men, had been sent away, they, and their asses.

They themselves, had gone out of the city - they had not gone far, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Rise chase after the men, - so shalt thou overtake them and shalt say unto them, Wherefore have ye requited evil for good?

Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby, he himself, doth divine? Ye have done evil in what ye have done.

So he overtook them, - and spake unto them these words.

And they said unto him, Wherefore should my lord speak such words as these? Far be thy servants, from doing such a thing as this!

Lo! the silver that we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan, - how then could we steal out of the house of thy lord, silver or gold?

With whomsoever of thy servants it can be found, he shall die, - and, we also, will become my lord's servants.

And he said, Yea, now, according to your words, so, let it be, - he with whom it is found, shall be my servant, Ye, however, shall be clear.

So they hastened and took down each man his sack to the ground, - and opened each man his sack.

Then made he thorough search, with the eldest, he began, and with the youngest, he ended, - and the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin!

And they rent their mantles, - and laded each man his ass, and returned to the city.

And Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, - and fell down before him to the earth.

And Joseph said to them, What is this deed which ye have done? Know ye not that such a man as I, can even divine?

Then said Judah - What shall we say to my lord, how shall we speak and how shall we justify ourselves, - when, God himself, hath found out the iniquity of thy servants? Behold us! my lord's servants, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found.

And he said, Far be it from me to do this thing! The man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he, shall be my servant, but as for you, go ye up in peace unto your father.

Then Judah drew near unto him, and said - Pardon my lord! Pray let thy servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let thine anger be kindled against thy servant, - for, thus, art, thou as Pharaoh!

So we said unto my lord, We have an aged father, and the child of his old age a youth, - his brother, being dead, he alone, is left of his mother and, his father, loveth him.

So then thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, - that I may set mine eyes upon him.

And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, - as surely as he leaveth his father, so surely will he, die.

And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother do come down with you, ye shall not again behold my face.

So it came to pass when we had gone up unto thy servant, my father, that we told him the words of my lord.

And we said, We cannot go down, - If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we cannot see the face of the man if, our youngest brother, is not with us.

Then said thy servant my father, unto us, - Ye yourselves, know, that, two, did my wife bear to me,

and the one went forth from me, and I said - Certainly he hath been, torn in pieces, -

And I have never seen him since. As surely as ye take, this one also, away from before my face and there befall him any mischief, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs, with misfortune to hades.

Now, therefore, as surely as I go in unto thy servant my father, and, the lad, is not with us, - seeing that his soul is bound up with the lads soul,

For thy servant, became surety for the lad, while away from my father saying, - If I bring him not unto thee, then will I count myself a sinner against my father all the days.

For how can I go up unto my father, should the lad, not be with me? lest I look on the calamity, that shall find out my father,

And Joseph could not restrain himself before all who were stationed near him, so he cried out - Have forth every man from me! And there stood no man with him, when Joseph made himself known unto his brethren,

Then gave he forth his voice in weeping, - and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren: I, am Joseph, is my father yet alive? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified because of him.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren - Draw near I pray you, unto me. And they drew near. And he said - I, am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

For these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land, - and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest.

So then God sent me before you, to plant for you a remainder in the earth, - and to save you alive, by a great deliverance,

Now, therefore it was not ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself, - who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Haste ye and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him - Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt, - come down unto me do not delay;

so shalt thou dwell in the land of Goshen, and shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy sons, and thy son's sons, - and thy flocks and thy herds and all that is thine;

so will I sustain thee, there, for there are yet five years of famine, - lest thou come to poverty - thou and thy house and all who are thine.

Now lo! your own eyes do see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, - that it is my own mouth, that doth speak unto you.

As soon as ye have told my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, so soon shall ye hasten and bring down my father hither.

Then fell he upon the neck of Benjamin his brother, and wept, - and Benjamin wept on his neck.

Then kissed he all his brethren, and wept upon them, - and, thereafter, his brethren spake with him.

Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in, And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph - Say unto thy brethren This, do, - lade your asses, and go enter into the land of Canaan;

and fetch your father and your households and come in unto me, - that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

Thou, therefore command them, This, do ye, - Take you out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father and come in.

And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, - and gave them provisions for the way:

to all of them, gave he to each man changes of raiment, - but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.

Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth - ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt, - and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father for the way.

Thus sent he forth his brethren and they departed, - and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.

And they went up out of Egypt, - and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.

And they told him saying - Joseph: is, yet alive, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, for he believed them not.

So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken unto them h then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him, - and the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!

So Israel brake up, with all that he had, and came in to Beer-sheba, - and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said - Jacob! Jacob!

And he said - Behold me! And he said: I, am GOD himself, the God of thy father, - Be not afraid of going down to Egypt, seeing that for a great nation, will I plant thee there.

I will go down with thee to Egypt, and will bring thee up, yea wholly up, - and, Joseph, shall lay his own hand upon thine eyes.

So Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba, - and the sons of Israel brought Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh had sent to bring him;

and they took their cattle and the gains which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, - Jacob and all his seed with him:

his sons, and his son's sons with him, his daughters, and his sons daughters, and all his seed, brought he with him into Egypt.

Now, these, are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt - Jacob and his sons, - the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben:

And, the sons of Reuben, - Hanoch and Pallu, and Hezron and Carmi;

And, the sons of Simeon, - Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, - and Shaul, son of the Canaanitess;

And the sons of Levi, - Gershon, Kohath and Merari;

And the sons of Judah, - Er and Onan and Shelah, and Perez and Zerah, - but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul;

And, the sons of Issachar, - Tola and Puvah, and Iob and Shimron;

And the sons of Zebulon, - Sered and Elon, and Jahleel.

These, are the sons of Leah whom she bare to Jacob in Padan-aram, with Dinah also his daughter, - All the souls of his sons and of his daughters, were thirty-three.

And, the sons of Gad, - Zaphon and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, - Eri and Arodi and Areli;

And, the sons of Asher, - Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Serah their sister, - and the sons of Beriah, Heber and Malchiel.

The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife, - Joseph and Benjamin;

And there were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, bare to him,: Manasseh and Ephraim;

And the sons of Benjamin - Bela and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Resh, - Muppim and Huppim, and Ard.

And, the sons of Dan, - Hushim;

And the sons of Naphtali, - Jahzeel and Guni, and Jezer and Shillem.

and, the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: All the souls of the house of Jacob that came into Egypt, were seventy.

And he sent, Judah, before him unto Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen, - so they came in towards the land of Goshen.

Then yoked Joseph his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father towards Goshen, - and he appeared unto him, and fell upon his neck, and wept upon his neck a good while.

Then said Israel unto Joseph I am ready to die at last, - now that I have seen thy face, in that thou art, yet alive.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren and unto the house of his father, I must go up, and must tell Pharaoh - and must say unto him, My brethren, and the house of my father, who were in the land of Canaan, have come in unto me.

Now, the men, are feeders of flocks, for men of cattle, they are, - and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have they brought in.

So shall it come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call for you, - and shall say - What is your occupation?

Then shall ye say - Men of cattle, have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers, - To the end ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for an abomination to Egyptians, is every feeder of a flock,

So then Joseph went in, and told Pharaoh, and said - My father and my brethren, and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, are come in from the land of Canaan, - and, here they are, in the land of Goshen.

Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, - and set them before Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto the brethren of Joseph - What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh - Feeders of flocks, are thy servants, both we and our fathers.

And they said unto Pharaoh - To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee in the land of Goshen.

Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, - Thy father and thy brethren, are come in unto thee.

The land of Egypt, is, before thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, - let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.

So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand before Pharaoh, - and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: About how many, have been the days of the years of thy life?

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings, have been a hundred and thirty years, - Few and evil, have been the days of the years of my life, neither have they attained unto the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, - and came forth from the presence of Pharaoh.

So then Joseph fixed the dwelling of his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land. in the land of Rameses, - as Pharaoh had commanded.

And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father's house, - with bread, according to the need of their little ones.

But, bread, was there none in all the land, - for the famine was, very severe, - so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine,
