Genesis 44 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The Brothers Are Brought Back

Gen 44:1He commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

Gen 44:2

Gen 44:2Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, with his grain money." He did according to the word that Yosef had spoken.

Gen 44:3

Gen 44:3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

Gen 44:4

Gen 44:4When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Yosef said to his steward, "Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, 'Why have you rewarded evil for good?

Gen 44:5

Gen 44:5Isn't this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.'"

Gen 44:6

Gen 44:6He overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.

Gen 44:7

Gen 44:7They said to him, "Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

Gen 44:8

Gen 44:8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Kana`an. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord's house?

Gen 44:9

Gen 44:9With whoever of your servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondservants."

Gen 44:10

Gen 44:10He said, "Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless."

Gen 44:11

Gen 44:11Then they hurried, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

Gen 44:12

Gen 44:12He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Binyamin's sack.

Gen 44:13

Gen 44:13Then they tore their clothes, and loaded every man his donkey, and returned to the city.

Gen 44:14

Gen 44:14Yehudah and his brothers came to Yosef's house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

Gen 44:15

Gen 44:15Yosef said to them, "What deed is this that you have done? Don't you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?"

Gen 44:16

Gen 44:16Yehudah said, "What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord's bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found."

Gen 44:17

Gen 44:17He said, "Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in shalom to your father."

Gen 44:18

Gen 44:18Then Yehudah came near to him, and said, "Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and don't let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Par`oh.

Gen 44:19

Gen 44:19My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Have you a father, or a brother?'

Gen 44:20

Gen 44:20We said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.'

Gen 44:21

Gen 44:21You said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'

Gen 44:22

Gen 44:22We said to my lord, 'The boy can't leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'

Gen 44:23

Gen 44:23You said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.'

Gen 44:24

Gen 44:24It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

Gen 44:25

Gen 44:25Our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'

Gen 44:26

Gen 44:26We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, unless our youngest brother is with us.'

Gen 44:27

Gen 44:27Your servant, my father, said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons:

Gen 44:28

Gen 44:28and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces;" and I haven't seen him since.

Gen 44:29

Gen 44:29If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to She'ol.'

Gen 44:30

Gen 44:30Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the boy's life;

Gen 44:31

Gen 44:31it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to She'ol.

Gen 44:32

Gen 44:32For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I don't bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'

Gen 44:33

Gen 44:33Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

Gen 44:34

Gen 44:34For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn't with me? Lest I see the evil that will come on my father."
