And the famine was sore in the land. Gen 12:10Act 7:11-13Ecc 9:1-2Gen 18:13Gen 41:54-57Gen 42:5Lam 5:10 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. 1Ti 5:81Ti 6:6-8Gen 42:1-2Gen 43:20Gen 43:4Pro 15:16Pro 16:18Pro 31:16 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. 1 Gen 44:23Gen 43:52Sa 14:242Sa 14:282Sa 14:322Sa 3:13Act 20:25Act 20:38 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: 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. Exo 20:12Gen 42:38Gen 44:26 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? 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? 2 4 3 Gen 43:3Gen 42:13Gen 43:27 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.

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: Gen 37:25Jer 8:221Sa 9:7Ezk 27:17Pro 18:161Ki 10:151Ki 10:251Ki 15:19 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: Gen 42:25Gen 42:351Th 4:61Th 5:212Co 8:21Heb 13:8Php 4:8Rom 12:17 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man: Gen 42:38 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. 6 Est 4:16Gen 17:1Act 21:14Gen 22:14Neh 1:11Pro 16:7Act 7:10Gen 35:11
¶ 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. 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. 7 8 Gen 44:1Gen 43:191Sa 25:11Gen 15:2Gen 21:8Gen 24:2-10Gen 26:30Gen 31:54 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house. 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. 9 Gen 42:35Deu 22:14Deu 22:17Gen 42:21Gen 42:28Isa 7:2Jdg 13:22Jdg 14:4 And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house, And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: 10 Gen 42:3Gen 42:10Gen 42:27Gen 42:35Gen 43:3Gen 43:7 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.

And he brought Simeon out unto them. 11 Gen 42:24Jhn 20:26Jhn 14:27Gen 42:28Jhn 20:19Jhn 20:21Luk 10:5Luk 24:36 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.

¶ 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 they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. Gen 37:7Gen 43:261Ki 1:162Ch 24:172Sa 1:22Sa 14:4Exo 18:7Gen 37:9-10 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. Gen 42:13Num 6:25Gen 30:22-241Ti 1:22Ch 29:11Gen 35:17-18Gen 42:11Gen 45:8 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. Gen 42:24Jer 31:201Ki 3:26Gen 45:14-15Gen 45:2Hos 11:8Jhn 11:33-38Php 1:8 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. Gen 45:11Pe 3:10Isa 42:14Jer 31:16 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. Exo 8:26Gen 46:34Gen 31:54Gen 43:16 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. And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him. 14 Gen 45:221Sa 1:52Sa 11:81Sa 9:22-24Ecc 10:19Ecc 9:7Hab 1:6Jhn 2:10
