CHAP. XLII. NOW when p Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may s live, and not die. 3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. 4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren: for he said, Lest peradventure mischief u befall him. 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the fa mine was in the land of Canaan. 6 And Joseph was the governor y over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves be fore him with their faces to the earth. 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake 13 roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ve? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food. 8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 9 And Joseph remembered the dreams. which he dreamied b of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the na kedness of the land ye are come. 10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. |
