And he told it to his father and to his brethren. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamt? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock at Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I.

Then Jacob said to him, “Please go and see whether everything is all right with your brothers and all right with the flock; then bring word [back] to me.” So he sent him from the Hebron Valley, and he went to Shechem.

And they said one to another, Behold, there comes that dreamer!

And now come and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast has devoured him; and we will see what becomes of his dreams.

And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

And they will sit down to eat bread, and they will lift up their eyes, and will see, and behold travellers, Ishmaelites come from Gilead, and their camels bearing perfumes and balsam and myrrh, going to carry down to Egypt

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened to him.

And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.

and Onan knoweth that the seed is not reckoned his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's wife, that he hath destroyed it to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother;

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?

When time was come that she should be delivered, behold there was two twins in her womb.

and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that one giveth out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, 'This hath come out first.'

And so it was that, no sooner had he withdrawn his hand, than lo! his brother had come. And she said, Wherefore hast thou made for thyself a breach? So his name was called Perez.

and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand is the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.

And it came to pass after these things, that his lord's wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, - and she said - Come! lie with me.

And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.

And it will be about this day, and he will come into the house to do his work: and no man from the men of the house there in the house.

that she caught him by his garment, saying - Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gut forth outside,

that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to them, saying, 'See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I call with a loud voice,

And it will be as he heard me that I lifted up my voice and I will cry, and he will let go his garment by me, will flee and come forth without

So she laid by his garment beside her, - until his lord should come into his house,

And she speaketh unto him according to these words, saying, 'The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us, hath come in unto me to play with me;

And the keeper of the prison looked unto nothing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him, and because that whatsoever he did, the LORD made it come luckily to pass.

And Joseph will come to them in the morning, and will see them, and behold, they sad.

Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;

And Pharaoh will send and call Joseph, and they will cause him to run from the pit; and he will be shaved and will change his garments; and he will come to Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.

And the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.

but afterward seven years of famine and hunger will come, and [there will be such desperate need that] all the great abundance [of the previous years] will be forgotten in the land of Egypt [as if it never happened], and famine and destitution will ravage and destroy the land.

so that the plenteousness shall not be once a seen in the land, by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shall be exceeding great.

And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, - and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.

And to Joseph will be born two sons before the years of the famine will come: which Asenath, daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of Ain, bare to him.

and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.

But Jacob did not send Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, for {he feared harm would come to him}.

And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,

and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him -- face to the earth.

And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.

And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.

We are all one man's sons, we are true men; we have not come with any secret purpose.

And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.

And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!

And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.

And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.

And they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,

The man who is the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

And come back to me with your youngest brother: then I will be certain that you are true men, and I will give your brother back to you and let you do trade in the land.

And Jacob their father said to them, You have taken my children from me: Joseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin away; all these things have come on me.

Then spake Reuben unto his father saying, My two sons, shalt thou put to death, if I bring him not unto thee, - Come give him up upon my hand, and I, will restore him unto thee.

But Judah reminded him, "The man distinctly warned us: "You'll never see my face unless your brother comes with you.'

But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

And Israel (Jacob) said, “Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man that you had another brother?”

And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?

Then said Judah unto Israel his father - Come! send thou down the young man with me that we may arise and go our way, - and live and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.

For, if we had not lingered, surely now, had we come back here a second time.

As soon as Joseph noticed that Benjamin had come with them, he ordered his palace manager, "Bring the men into the palace. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, because these men will be dining with me for lunch."

Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.

And they come nigh unto the man who is over the house of Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house,

and said, May it please my lord! We, did indeed come down, at the beginning to buy food.

and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money is in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;

Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.

And they made ready the present against Joseph should come at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

And Joseph will come to his house and they will bring to him the gift which is in their hand to the house, and they will worship towards him to the earth.

And he will wash his face and come forth, and will restrain himself, and will say, Place bread.

If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

And Judah and his brethren will come to Joseph's house, and he yet there: and they will fall before him to the earth.

And Judah will come near to him and will say, With leave my lord, now shall thy servant speak a word in the ear of my lord, and thine anger shall not be kindled against thy servant; for with thee as Pharaoh.

And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.

Then you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not again see my face.'

'And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;

The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,

If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld.

So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us--now his life is bound up with his life--

it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not there, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? lest I see the evil that would come on my father.

So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." And they drew near. And he said, "I [am] Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.

Hurry, and go up to my father and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me and do not delay.

And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.

Then the report was heard [in] the house of Pharaoh, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." And it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.

And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, "Say unto thy brethren, 'This do ye: lade your beasts and get you hence. And when ye be come unto the land of Canaan,

and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.'

And you [Joseph], are commanded [to say] this: 'Do this! Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives, and bring your father and come!

And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,

And Israel will remove and all which is to him, and he will come to the well of the oath, and he will sacrifice sacrifices to the God of his father Isaak.

I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

and they take their cattle, and their goods which they have acquired in the land of Canaan, and come into Egypt -- Jacob, and all his seed with him,

And these the names of the sons of Israel having come to Egypt. Jacob and his sons: the first born of Jacob, Reuben.
