And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down to him with <i>their</i> faces to the ground. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.” <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But Joseph had recognized his brothers, although they did not recognize him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them, and said to them, “You are spies; you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>“We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Yet he said to them, “No, but you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land!” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers <i>in all,</i> the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you, you are spies; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>by this you will be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here! <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>“Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So he put them all together in prison for three days. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God: <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison; but as for <i>the rest of</i> you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>and bring your youngest brother to me, so your words may be verified, and you will not die.” And they did so. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then they said to one another, “Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>They did not know, however, that Joseph understood, for there was an interpreter between them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And he turned away from them and wept. But when he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to restore every man’s money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. And thus it was done for them. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>So they loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And as one <i>of them</i> opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money; and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then he said to his brothers, “My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack.” And their hearts sank, and they <i>turned</i> trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?” <p><b><i>Simeon Is Held Hostage</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>“The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us, and took us for spies of the country. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>“But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>“And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take <i>grain for</i> the famine of your households, and go. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>‘But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but honest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.’” <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man’s bundle of money <i>was</i> in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>And their father Jacob said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him <i>back</i> to you; put him in my care, and I will return him to you.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/genesis/42-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>But Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”</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.
