And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;

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 he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?

And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.

Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.

Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?

So he overtook them and said these words to them.

And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:

And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

And Joseph said, What is this thing which you have done? had you no thought that such a man as I would have power to see what is secret?

And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.

Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?

And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.

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.

But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.

And our father said, Go again and get us a little food.

And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.

And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;

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,

And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.

Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.

And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;

And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.

And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.

And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.

And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:

And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.

And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.

And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;

Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.

And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.

And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?

And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.

And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.

And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.

And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,

And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.

These are the twelve tribes of Israel: and these are the words their father said to them, blessing them; to every one he gave his blessing.

And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.

And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?

Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

And he said to his people, See, the people of Israel are greater in number and in power than we are:

And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),

But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.

And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?

And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.

And opening it, she saw the child, and he was crying. And she had pity on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the girl went and got the child's mother.

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.

And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.

And he went out the day after and saw two of the Hebrews fighting: and he said to him who was in the wrong, Why are you fighting your brother?

And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.

And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?

And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.

And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.

And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.

And Moses said, I will go and see this strange thing, why the tree is not burned up,

And when the Lord saw him turning to one side to see, God said his name out of the tree, crying, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

And he said, Do not come near: take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.

And he said, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses kept his face covered for fear of looking on God.

And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;

And Moses said to God, Who am I to go to Pharaoh and take the children of Israel out of Egypt?

And he said, Truly I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.

And Moses said to God, When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, What is his name? what am I to say to them?

And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;

And I have said, I will take you up out of the sorrows of Egypt into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.

And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)
