Brother » Joseph's, for his brethren
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels yearned towards his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there. And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians. read more.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

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

And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food have thy servants come. We are all one man's sons; we are true men; thy servants are no spies. And he said to them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land have ye come. And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not. And Joseph said to them, That is what I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies: By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother shall come hither. Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there is any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies. And he put them all together into custody three days. And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: If ye are true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses: But bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

And 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.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to thee, my son.
