Wherefore Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is no man of understanding nor of wisdom like unto thee.

And he said unto Joseph, "Behold, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "I am Pharaoh; without thy will, shall no man lift up either his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

And he called the name of the first son Manasseh, "For God," said he, "hath made me forget all my labour and all my father's household."

The second called he Ephraim, "For God," said he, "hath caused me to grow in the land of my trouble."

then came the seven years of dearth, according as Joseph had said. And the dearth was in all lands: but in the land of Egypt was there yet food.

When now all the land of Egypt began to hunger, then cried the people to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said unto all Egypt, "Go unto Joseph, and what he saith to you, that do."

When Jacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said unto his sons, "Why are ye negligent?

for Benjamin, Joseph's brother, would not Jacob send with his other brethren: for he said, "Some misfortune might happen him."

When Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them saying, "Whence come ye?" And they said, "Out of the land of Canaan, to buy victuals."

And Joseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is your coming."

And they said unto him, "Nay, my lord: but to buy victuals thy servants are come.

And he said unto them, "Nay, verily, but even to see where the land is weak is your coming."

And they said, "We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is yet with our father, and one no man knoweth where he is."

Joseph said unto them, "That is it that I said unto you, that ye are surely spies.

And Joseph said unto the third day, "This do and live, for I fear God.

Then they said one to another, "We have verily sinned against our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and would not hear him: therefore is this trouble come upon us."

Reuben answered them, saying, "Said I not unto you that ye should not sin against the lad? But ye would not hear; And now verily see, his blood is required."

And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored me again, and is even in my sack's mouth." Then their hearts failed them, and were astonished and said one to another, "How cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?"

And we said unto him, 'We mean truly and are no spies.

And the lord of the country said unto us, 'Hereby shall I know if ye mean truly: leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food necessary for your households and get you away,

And Jacob their father said unto them, "Me have ye robbed of my children: Joseph is away, and Simeon is away, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things fall upon me."

And he said, "My son shall not go down with you. For his brother is dead, and he is left alone. Moreover, some misfortune might happen upon him by the way which ye go. And so should ye bring my gray head with sorrow unto the grave."

And when they had eaten up that corn which they brought out of the land of Egypt, their father said unto them, "Go again and buy us a little food."

Then said Judah unto him, "The man did testify unto us saying, 'Look that ye see not my face except your brother be with you.'

But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go: for the man said unto us, 'Look that ye see not my face, except your brother be with you.'"

And Israel said, "Wherefore dealt ye so cruelly with me, as to tell the man that ye had yet another brother?"

And they said, "The man asked us of our kindred saying, 'Is your father yet alive? Have ye not another brother?' And we told him according to these words. How could we know that he would bid us bring our brother down with us?"

Then said Judah unto Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will rise and go, that we may live and not die: both we, thou and also our children.

Then their father Israel said unto them, "If it must needs be so now: then do thus, take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a courtesy balm, and a courtesy of honey, spices and myrrh, dates and almonds.

When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, "Bring these men home, and slay and make ready: for they shall dine with me at noon."

When they were brought to Joseph's house, they were afraid, and said, "Because of the money that came in our sacks' mouths at the first time, are we brought, to pick a quarrel with us and to lay something to our charge: to bring us in bondage and our asses also."

and said, "Sir, we came hither at the first time to buy food,

And he said, "Be of good cheer, fear not: Your God and the God of your fathers hath put you that treasure in your sacks, for I had your money." And he brought Simeon out to them,

And he lift up his eyes and beheld his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother of whom ye said unto me?" And said, "God be merciful unto thee my son."

and put every man's money in his bag mouth, and put my silver cup in the sack's mouth of the youngest and his corn money also." And he did as Joseph had said.

And when they were out of the city and not yet far away, Joseph said unto the ruler of his house, "Up, and follow after the men and overtake them, and say unto them, 'Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

And he overtook them and said the same words unto them.

And he said, "Now therefore, according unto your words, he with whom it is found shall be my servant: but ye, shall be harmless."

And Joseph said unto them, "What deed is this which ye have done? Wist ye not that such a man as I can prophesy?"

Then said Judah, "What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak, or what excuse can we make? God hath found out the wickedness of thy servants. Behold, both we and he with whom the cup is found, are thy servants."

Then Judah went unto him and said, "O my lord, let thy servant speak a word in my lord's audience, and be not wroth with thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.

And we answered my lord, 'We have a father that is old, and a young lad which he begat in his age: and the brother of the said lad is dead, and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loveth him.'

Then said my lord unto his servants, 'Bring him unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.'

And when we came unto thy servant our father, we showed him what my lord had said.

And when our father said unto us, 'Go again and buy us a little food,'

we said that we could not go. 'Nevertheless, if our youngest brother go with us then will we go, for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.'

Then said thy servant our father unto us, 'Ye know that my wife bare me two sons.

And the one went out from me and it is said of a surety that he is torn in pieces of wild beasts, and I saw him not since.

For I thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father and said, 'If I bring him not unto thee again. I will bear the blame all my life long.'

And he said unto his brethren, "I am Joseph: doth my father yet live?" But his brethren could not answer him, for they were abashed at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, "Come near to me." And they came near. And he said, "I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold into Egypt.

So sent he his brethren away, and they departed. And he said unto them, "See that ye fall not out by the way."

And they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said unto them. But when he saw the chariots which Joseph had sent to carry him, then his spirits revived.

And Israel said, "I have enough, if Joseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see him, yer that I die."

And God said unto Israel in a vision by night, and called unto him, "Jacob, Jacob." And he answered, "Here am I."

And he said, "I am that mighty God of thy father, fear not to go down into Egypt. For I will make of thee there a great people.

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Now I am content to die, insomuch I have seen thee, that thou art yet alive."

And Joseph said unto his brethren and unto his father's house, "I will go and show Pharaoh, and tell him that my brethren and my father's house which were in the land of Canaan are come unto me,

and Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brethren, their sheep and their beasts and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan and are in the land of Goshen."

And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, "What is your occupation?" And they said unto Pharaoh, "Feeders of sheep are thy servants, both we and also our fathers."

They said moreover unto Pharaoh, "For to sojourn in the land are we come, for thy servants have no pasture for their sheep, so sore is the famishment in the land of Canaan. Now therefore let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee.

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, "The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have the days of my life been, and have not attained unto the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimages."

When money failed in the land of Egypt and of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said, "Give us sustenance: wherefore sufferest thou us to die before thee? For our money is spent."

Then said Joseph, "Bring your cattle, and I will give yow for your cattle, if ye be without money."

When that year was ended, they came unto him the next year and said unto him, "We will not hide it from my lord, how that we have neither money nor cattle for my lord: there is no more left for my lord, but even our bodies and our lands.

Then Joseph said unto the folk, "Behold, I have bought you this day and your lands for Pharaoh. Take there seed and go sow the land.

When the time drew nigh that Israel must die, he sent for his son Joseph and said unto him, "If I have found grace in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh and deal mercifully and truly with me, that thou bury me not in Egypt:

but let me lie by my fathers, and carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burial." And he answered, "I will do as thou hast said."

And he said, "Swear unto me." And he sware unto him. And then Israel bowed him unto the bed's head.

Then was it said unto Jacob, "Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee." And Israel took his strength unto him, and sat up on the bed,

and said unto Joseph, "God almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

and said unto me, "Behold, I will make thee grow and will multiply thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will give this land unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee, unto an everlasting possession.

And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, "What are these?"

And Joseph said unto his father, "They are my sons, which God hath given me here." And he said, "Bring them to me, and let me bless them."

And Israel said unto Joseph, "I had not thought to have seen thy face, and yet lo, God hath showed it me and also thy seed."

and said unto his father, "Not so my father, for this is the eldest. Put thy righthand upon his head."

And his father would not, but said, "I know it well my son, I know it well. He shall be also a people and shall be great. But of a truth his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall be full of people."

And Israel said unto Joseph, "Behold, I die. And God shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

And Jacob called for his sons and said, "Come together, that I may tell you what shall happen you in the last days.

And he charged them, and said unto them, "I shall be put unto my people: see that ye bury me with my fathers, in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

my father made me swear and said, 'Lo, I die, see that thou bury me in my grave which I have made me in the land of Canaan.' Now therefore let me go and bury my father, and then will I come again."

And Pharaoh said, "Go and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear."

When the inhabiters of the land the Canaanites saw the mourning in the field of Atad, they said, "This is a great mourning which the Egyptians make." Wherefore the name of the place is called Abelmizraim, which place lieth beyond Jordan.

When Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, "Joseph might fortune to hate us and reward us again all the evil which we did unto him."

And his brethren came and fell before him and said, "Behold we be thy servants."

And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not, for am not I under God?

And Joseph said unto his brethren, "I die; And God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land, unto the land which he sware unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel and said, "God will not fail but visit you: see therefore that ye carry my bones hence."

And he said unto his folk, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.

And the king of Egypt said unto the midwives of the Hebrews' women, of which the one's name was Shiphrah and the other Puah,

Then the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them, "Why have ye dealt on this manner and have saved the men children?"

And when she had opened it she saw the child, and behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on it and said, "It is one of the Hebrew's children."

Then said his sister unto Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call unto thee a nurse of the Hebrew's women, to nurse the child?"

Then Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, "Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will reward thee for thy labour." And the woman took the child and nursed it up.

And when the child was grown, she brought it unto Pharaoh's daughter, and it was made her son, and she called it Moses, "Because," said she, "I took him out of the water."

And he went out another day: and behold, two Hebrews strove together. And he said unto him that did the wrong, "Wherefore smitest thou thine neighbor?"

And he answered, "Who hath made thee a ruler or a judge over us? Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian?" Then Moses feared and said, "Of a surety the thing is known."

And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How happeneth it that ye are come so soon today?"
