Gen 43:2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

ויאמר אליו יהודה לאמר העד העד בנו האיש לאמר לא־תראו פני בלתי אחיכם אתכם׃

Gen 43:3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

אם־ישך משלח את־אחינו אתנו נרדה ונשברה לך אכל׃

Gen 43:4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

ואם־אינך משלח לא נרד כי־האיש אמר אלינו לא־תראו פני בלתי אחיכם אתכם׃

Gen 43:5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

ויאמר ישראל למה הרעתם לי להגיד לאיש העוד לכם אח׃

Gen 43:6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?

ויאמרו שאול שאל־האיש לנו ולמולדתנו לאמר העוד אביכם חי היש לכם אח ונגד־לו על־פי הדברים האלה הידוע נדע כי יאמר הורידו את־אחיכם׃

Gen 43:7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?

ויאמר יהודה אל־ישראל אביו שלחה הנער אתי ונקומה ונלכה ונחיה ולא נמות גם־אנחנו גם־אתה גם־טפנו׃

Gen 43:8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.

אנכי אערבנו מידי תבקשנו אם־לא הביאתיו אליך והצגתיו לפניך וחטאתי לך כל־הימים׃

Gen 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

כי לולא התמהמהנו כי־עתה שבנו זה פעמים׃

Gen 43:10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

ויאמר אלהם ישראל אביהם אם־כן׀ אפוא זאת עשו קחו מזמרת הארץ בכליכם והורידו לאיש מנחה מעט צרי ומעט דבש נכאת ולט בטנים ושקדים׃

Gen 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

וכסף משנה קחו בידכם ואת־הכסף המושב בפי אמתחתיכם תשיבו בידכם אולי משגה הוא׃

Gen 43:12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

ואת־אחיכם קחו וקומו שובו אל־האיש׃

Gen 43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

ואל שדי יתן לכם רחמים לפני האיש ושלח לכם את־אחיכם אחר ואת־בנימין ואני כאשר שכלתי שכלתי׃

Gen 43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

ויקחו האנשים את־המנחה הזאת ומשנה־כסף לקחו בידם ואת־בנימן ויקמו וירדו מצרים ויעמדו לפני יוסף׃

Gen 43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

וירא יוסף אתם את־בנימין ויאמר לאשר על־ביתו הבא את־האנשים הביתה וטבח טבח והכן כי אתי יאכלו האנשים בצהרים׃

Gen 43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

ויעש האיש כאשר אמר יוסף ויבא האיש את־האנשים ביתה יוסף׃

Gen 43:17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

וייראו האנשים כי הובאו בית יוסף ויאמרו על־דבר הכסף השב באמתחתינו בתחלה אנחנו מובאים להתגלל עלינו ולהתנפל עלינו ולקחת אתנו לעבדים ואת־חמרינו׃

Gen 43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

ויגשו אל־האיש אשר על־בית יוסף וידברו אליו פתח הבית׃

Gen 43:19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

ויאמרו בי אדני ירד ירדנו בתחלה לשבר־אכל׃

Gen 43:20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

ויהי כי־באנו אל־המלון ונפתחה את־אמתחתינו והנה כסף־איש בפי אמתחתו כספנו במשקלו ונשב אתו בידנו׃

Gen 43:21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

וכסף אחר הורדנו בידנו לשבר־אכל לא ידענו מי־שם כספנו באמתחתינו׃

Gen 43:22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

ויאמר שלום לכם אל־תיראו אלהיכם ואלהי אביכם נתן לכם מטמון באמתחתיכם כספכם בא אלי ויוצא אלהם את־שמעון׃

Gen 43:23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

ויבא האיש את־האנשים ביתה יוסף ויתן־מים וירחצו רגליהם ויתן מספוא לחמריהם׃

Gen 43:24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

ויכינו את־המנחה עד־בוא יוסף בצהרים כי שמעו כי־שם יאכלו לחם׃

Gen 43:25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.

ויבא יוסף הביתה ויביאו לו את־המנחה אשר־בידם הביתה וישתחוו־לו ארצה׃

Gen 43:26 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.

וישאל להם לשלום ויאמר השלום אביכם הזקן אשר אמרתם העודנו חי׃

Gen 43:27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

ויאמרו שלום לעבדך לאבינו עודנו חי ויקדו וישתחוו׃

Gen 43:28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

וישא עיניו וירא את־בנימין אחיו בן־אמו ויאמר הזה אחיכם הקטן אשר אמרתם אלי ויאמר אלהים יחנך בני׃

Gen 43:29 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 spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

וימהר יוסף כי־נכמרו רחמיו אל־אחיו ויבקש לבכות ויבא החדרה ויבך שמה׃

Gen 43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

וירחץ פניו ויצא ויתאפק ויאמר שימו לחם׃

Gen 43:31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

וישימו לו לבדו ולהם לבדם ולמצרים האכלים אתו לבדם כי לא יוכלון המצרים לאכל את־העברים לחם כי־תועבה הוא למצרים׃

Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

וישבו לפניו הבכר כבכרתו והצעיר כצערתו ויתמהו האנשים איש אל־רעהו׃

Gen 43:33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.

וישא משאת מאת פניו אלהם ותרב משאת בנימן ממשאת כלם חמש ידות וישתו וישכרו עמו׃

Gen 43:34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they drank, and were merry with him.
