Have you <i>another</i> brother?’ So we answered his questions. Could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>“I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him <i>back</i> to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>“For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice.” <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Then their father Israel said to them, “If <i>it must be</i> so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>“And take double <i>the</i> money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>“Take your brother also, and arise, return to the man; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>So the men took this present, and they took double <i>the</i> money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph. <p><b><i>Joseph Sees Benjamin</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, “Bring the men into the house, and slay <i>an animal</i> and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So the man did as Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph’s house. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “<i>It is</i> because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>So they came near to Joseph’s house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>“We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And he said, “Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>So they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And they said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed down in homage. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And Joseph hurried <i>out</i> for he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he sought <i>a place</i> to weep; and he entered his chamber and wept there. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Then he washed his face, and came out; and he controlled himself and said, “Serve the meal.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Now they were seated before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/43-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And he took portions to them from his own table; but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
