1  And he commanded^{6680 853} the steward^{834 5921} of his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fill^{4390 853} the men's³⁷⁶ sacks⁵⁷² with food,⁴⁰⁰ as much as⁸³⁴ they can³²⁰¹ carry,⁵³⁷⁵ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ every man's³⁷⁶ money³⁷⁰¹ in his sack's⁵⁷² mouth.⁶³¹⁰

2  And put⁷⁷⁶⁰ my cup,¹³⁷⁵ the silver³⁷⁰¹ cup,¹³⁷⁵ in the sack's⁵⁷² mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the youngest,⁶⁹⁹⁶ and his corn⁷⁶⁶⁸ money.³⁷⁰¹ And he did⁶²¹³ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ Joseph³¹³⁰ had spoken.¹⁶⁹⁶

3  As soon as the morning¹²⁴² was light,²¹⁵ the men³⁷⁶ were sent away,⁷⁹⁷¹ they¹⁹⁹² and their asses.²⁵⁴³

4  And when they¹⁹⁹² were gone out of^{3318 853} the city,⁵⁸⁹² and not³⁸⁰⁸ yet far off,⁷³⁶⁸ Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto his steward,^{834 5921 1004} Up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ follow⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the men;³⁷⁶ and when thou dost overtake⁵³⁸¹ them, say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ have ye rewarded⁷⁹⁹⁹ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ good?²⁸⁹⁶

5  Is not³⁸⁰⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ it in which⁸³⁴ my lord¹¹³ drinketh,⁸³⁵⁴ and whereby indeed he divineth?^{1931 5172 5172} ye have done evil⁷⁴⁸⁹ in so⁸³⁴ doing.⁶²¹³

6  And he overtook⁵³⁸¹ them, and he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ them ⁸⁵³ these same⁴²⁸ words.¹⁶⁹⁷

7  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ saith¹⁶⁹⁶ my lord¹¹³ these⁴²⁸ words?¹⁶⁹⁷ God forbid²⁴⁸⁶ that thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ should do^{4480 6213} according to this²⁰⁸⁸ thing:¹⁶⁹⁷

8  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ the money,³⁷⁰¹ which⁸³⁴ we found⁴⁶⁷² in our sacks'⁵⁷² mouths,⁶³¹⁰ we brought again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee out of the land^{4480 776} of Canaan:³⁶⁶⁷ how³⁴⁹ then should we steal¹⁵⁸⁹ out of thy lord's house^{4480 1004 113} silver³⁷⁰¹ or¹⁷⁶ gold?²⁰⁹¹

9  With⁸⁵⁴ whomsoever⁸³⁴ of thy servants^{4480 5650} it be found,⁴⁶⁷² both let him die,⁴¹⁹¹ and we⁵⁸⁷ also¹⁵⁷¹ will be¹⁹⁶¹ my lord's¹¹³ bondmen.⁵⁶⁵⁰

10  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Now⁶²⁵⁸ also^{1571 3651} let it¹⁹³¹ be according unto your words:¹⁶⁹⁷ he with⁸⁵⁴ whom⁸³⁴ it is found⁴⁶⁷² shall be¹⁹⁶¹ my servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and ye⁸⁵⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ blameless.⁵³⁵⁵

11  Then they speedily⁴¹¹⁶ took down³³⁸¹ every man^{376 853} his sack⁵⁷² to the ground,⁷⁷⁶ and opened⁶⁶⁰⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his sack.⁵⁷²

12  And he searched,²⁶⁶⁴ and began²⁴⁹⁰ at the eldest,¹⁴¹⁹ and left³⁶¹⁵ at the youngest:⁶⁹⁹⁶ and the cup¹³⁷⁵ was found⁴⁶⁷² in Benjamin's¹¹⁴⁴ sack.⁵⁷²

13  Then they rent⁷¹⁶⁷ their clothes,⁸⁰⁷¹ and laded⁶⁰⁰⁶ every man³⁷⁶ his ass,²⁵⁴³ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to the city.⁵⁸⁹²

14  And Judah³⁰⁶³ and his brethren²⁵¹ came⁹³⁵ to Joseph's³¹³⁰ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ for he¹⁹³¹ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ there:⁸⁰³³ and they fell⁵³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him on the ground.⁷⁷⁶

15  And Joseph³¹³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, What⁴¹⁰⁰ deed⁴⁶³⁹ is this²⁰⁸⁸ that⁸³⁴ ye have done?⁶²¹³ know³⁰⁴⁵ ye not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ such a man³⁷⁶ as I³⁶⁴⁴ can certainly divine?^{5172 5172}

16  And Judah³⁰⁶³ said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we say⁵⁵⁹ unto my lord?¹¹³ what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we speak?¹⁶⁹⁶ or how⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we clear ourselves?⁶⁶⁶³ God⁴³⁰ hath found out^{4672 853} the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of thy servants:⁵⁶⁵⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we are my lord's¹¹³ servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ both¹⁵⁷¹ we,⁵⁸⁷ and he also¹⁵⁷¹ with whom^{834 3027} the cup¹³⁷⁵ is found.⁴⁶⁷²

17  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ God forbid²⁴⁸⁶ that I should do^{4480 6213} so:²⁰⁶³ but the man³⁷⁶ in whose⁸³⁴ hand³⁰²⁷ the cup¹³⁷⁵ is found,⁴⁶⁷² he¹⁹³¹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ my servant;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and as for you,⁸⁵⁹ get you up⁵⁹²⁷ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ unto⁴¹³ your father.¹

18  Then Judah³⁰⁶³ came near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto him,⁴¹³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Oh⁹⁹⁴ my lord,¹¹³ let thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ in my lord's¹¹³ ears,²⁴¹ and let not⁴⁰⁸ thine anger⁶³⁹ burn²⁷³⁴ against thy servant:⁵⁶⁵⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou art even as³⁶⁴⁴ Pharaoh.⁶⁵⁴⁷

19  My lord¹¹³ asked^{7592 853} his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Have³⁴²⁶ ye a father,¹ or¹⁷⁶ a brother?²⁵¹

20  And we said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ my lord,¹¹³ We have³⁴²⁶ a father,¹ an old man,²²⁰⁵ and a child³²⁰⁶ of his old age,²²⁰⁸ a little one;⁶⁹⁹⁶ and his brother²⁵¹ is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and he¹⁹³¹ alone⁹⁰⁵ is left³⁴⁹⁸ of his mother,⁵¹⁷ and his father¹ loveth¹⁵⁷ him.

21  And thou saidst⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Bring him down³³⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ me, that I may set⁷⁷⁶⁰ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ him.

22  And we said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ my lord,¹¹³ The lad⁵²⁸⁸ cannot^{3808 3201} leave^{5800 853} his father:¹ for if he should leave^{5800 853} his father,¹ his father would die.⁴¹⁹¹

23  And thou saidst⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Except^{518 3808} your youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ come down³³⁸¹ with⁸⁵⁴ you, ye shall see⁷²⁰⁰ my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ more.³²⁵⁴

24  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ we came up⁵⁹²⁷ unto⁴¹³ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ my father,¹ we told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him ⁸⁵³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of my lord.¹¹³

25  And our father¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Go again,⁷⁷²⁵ and buy⁷⁶⁶⁶ us a little⁴⁵⁹² food.⁴⁰⁰

26  And we said,⁵⁵⁹ We cannot^{3808 3201} go down:³³⁸¹ if⁵¹⁸ our youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ be³⁴²⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ us, then will we go down:³³⁸¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ we may³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ the man's³⁷⁶ face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ except³⁶⁹ our youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ brother²⁵¹ be with⁸⁵⁴ us.

27  And thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ my father¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ us, Ye⁸⁵⁹ know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ my wife⁸⁰² bore³²⁰⁵ me two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons:

28  And the one²⁵⁹ went out³³¹⁸ from^{4480 854} me, and I said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ he is torn in pieces;^{2963 2963} and I saw⁷²⁰⁰ him not³⁸⁰⁸ since:^{5704 2008}

29  And if ye take^{3947 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ from^{4480 5973} me,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and mischief⁶¹¹ befall⁷¹³⁶ him, ye shall bring down^{3381 853} my gray hairs⁷⁸⁷² with sorrow⁷⁴⁵¹ to the grave.⁷⁵⁸⁵

30  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore when I come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ my father,¹ and the lad⁵²⁸⁸ be not³⁶⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ us; seeing that his life⁵³¹⁵ is bound up⁷¹⁹⁴ in the lad's life;⁵³¹⁵

31  It shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when he seeth⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the lad⁵²⁸⁸ is not³⁶⁹ with us, that he will die:⁴¹⁹¹ and thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall bring down^{3381 853} the gray hairs⁷⁸⁷² of thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ our father¹ with sorrow³⁰¹⁵ to the grave.⁷⁵⁸⁵

32  For³⁵⁸⁸ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ became surety⁶¹⁴⁸ for ⁸⁵³ the lad⁵²⁸⁸ unto^{4480 5973} my father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ I bring⁹³⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee, then I shall bear the blame²³⁹⁸ to my father¹ forever.^{3605 3117}

33  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ abide³⁴²⁷ instead of⁸⁴⁷⁸ the lad⁵²⁸⁸ a bondman⁵⁶⁵⁰ to my lord;¹¹³ and let the lad⁵²⁸⁸ go up⁵⁹²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ his brethren.²⁵¹

34  For³⁵⁸⁸ how³⁴⁹ shall I go up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁴¹³ my father,¹ and the lad⁵²⁸⁸ be not³⁶⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ me? lest peradventure⁶⁴³⁵ I see⁷²⁰⁰ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ shall come on^{4672 853} my father.¹

1 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ιωσηφ τῷ ὄντι ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ λέγων πλήσατε τοὺς μαρσίππους τῶν ἀνθρώπων βρωμάτων ὅσα ἐὰν δύνωνται ἆραι καὶ ἐμβάλατε ἑκάστου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ μαρσίππου

2 καὶ τὸ κόνδυ μου τὸ ἀργυροῦν ἐμβάλατε εἰς τὸν μάρσιππον τοῦ νεωτέρου καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ σίτου αὐτοῦ ἐγενήθη δὲ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ιωσηφ καθὼς εἶπεν

3 τὸ πρωὶ διέφαυσεν καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἀπεστάλησαν αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ὄνοι αὐτῶν

4 ἐξελθόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πόλιν οὐκ ἀπέσχον μακράν καὶ Ιωσηφ εἶπεν τῷ ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἀναστὰς ἐπιδίωξον ὀπίσω τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ καταλήμψῃ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς τί ὅτι ἀνταπεδώκατε πονηρὰ ἀντὶ καλῶν

5 ἵνα τί ἐκλέψατέ μου τὸ κόνδυ τὸ ἀργυροῦν οὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν ἐν ᾧ πίνει ὁ κύριός μου αὐτὸς δὲ οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνίζεται ἐν αὐτῷ πονηρὰ συντετέλεσθε ἃ πεποιήκατε

6 εὑρὼν δὲ αὐτοὺς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα

7 οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ ἵνα τί λαλεῖ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα μὴ γένοιτο τοῖς παισίν σου ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο

8 εἰ τὸ μὲν ἀργύριον ὃ εὕρομεν ἐν τοῖς μαρσίπποις ἡμῶν ἀπεστρέψαμεν πρὸς σὲ ἐκ γῆς Χανααν πῶς ἂν κλέψαιμεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ κυρίου σου ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον

9 παρ᾽ ᾧ ἂν εὑρεθῇ τὸ κόνδυ τῶν παίδων σου ἀποθνῃσκέτω καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐσόμεθα παῖδες τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν

10 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν καὶ νῦν ὡς λέγετε οὕτως ἔσται ὁ ἄνθρωπος παρ᾽ ᾧ ἂν εὑρεθῇ τὸ κόνδυ αὐτὸς ἔσται μου παῖς ὑμεῖς δὲ ἔσεσθε καθαροί

11 καὶ ἔσπευσαν καὶ καθεῖλαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἤνοιξαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ

12 ἠρεύνα δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἀρξάμενος ἕως ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν νεώτερον καὶ εὗρεν τὸ κόνδυ ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ τῷ Βενιαμιν

13 καὶ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἕκαστος τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν

14 εἰσῆλθεν δὲ Ιουδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Ιωσηφ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ἐκεῖ καὶ ἔπεσον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

15 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ τί τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο ὃ ἐποιήσατε οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι οἰωνισμῷ οἰωνιεῖται ἄνθρωπος οἷος ἐγώ

16 εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας τί ἀντεροῦμεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἢ τί λαλήσωμεν ἢ τί δικαιωθῶμεν ὁ δὲ θεὸς εὗρεν τὴν ἀδικίαν τῶν παίδων σου ἰδού ἐσμεν οἰκέται τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ παρ᾽ ᾧ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ

17 εἶπεν δὲ Ιωσηφ μή μοι γένοιτο ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὁ ἄνθρωπος παρ᾽ ᾧ εὑρέθη τὸ κόνδυ αὐτὸς ἔσται μου παῖς ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀνάβητε μετὰ σωτηρίας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν

18 ἐγγίσας δὲ αὐτῷ Ιουδας εἶπεν δέομαι κύριε λαλησάτω ὁ παῖς σου ῥῆμα ἐναντίον σου καὶ μὴ θυμωθῇς τῷ παιδί σου ὅτι σὺ εἶ μετὰ Φαραω

19 κύριε σὺ ἠρώτησας τοὺς παῖδάς σου λέγων εἰ ἔχετε πατέρα ἢ ἀδελφόν

20 καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἔστιν ἡμῖν πατὴρ πρεσβύτερος καὶ παιδίον γήρως νεώτερον αὐτῷ καὶ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανεν αὐτὸς δὲ μόνος ὑπελείφθη τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτὸν ἠγάπησεν

21 εἶπας δὲ τοῖς παισίν σου καταγάγετε αὐτὸν πρός με καὶ ἐπιμελοῦμαι αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ εἴπαμεν τῷ κυρίῳ οὐ δυνήσεται τὸ παιδίον καταλιπεῖν τὸν πατέρα ἐὰν δὲ καταλίπῃ τὸν πατέρα ἀποθανεῖται

23 σὺ δὲ εἶπας τοῖς παισίν σου ἐὰν μὴ καταβῇ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν οὐ προσθήσεσθε ἔτι ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου

24 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἀνέβημεν πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου πατέρα δὲ ἡμῶν ἀπηγγείλαμεν αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ κυρίου

25 εἶπεν δὲ ἡμῖν ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν βαδίσατε πάλιν ἀγοράσατε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα

26 ἡμεῖς δὲ εἴπαμεν οὐ δυνησόμεθα καταβῆναι ἀλλ᾽ εἰ μὲν ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἡμῶν ὁ νεώτερος καταβαίνει μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν καταβησόμεθα οὐ γὰρ δυνησόμεθα ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ νεωτέρου μὴ ὄντος μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν

27 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ παῖς σου ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ὑμεῖς γινώσκετε ὅτι δύο ἔτεκέν μοι ἡ γυνή

28 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ εἷς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ εἴπατε ὅτι θηριόβρωτος γέγονεν καὶ οὐκ εἶδον αὐτὸν ἔτι καὶ νῦν

29 ἐὰν οὖν λάβητε καὶ τοῦτον ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ κατάξετέ μου τὸ γῆρας μετὰ λύπης εἰς ᾅδου

30 νῦν οὖν ἐὰν εἰσπορεύωμαι πρὸς τὸν παῖδά σου πατέρα δὲ ἡμῶν καὶ τὸ παιδάριον μὴ ᾖ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκκρέμαται ἐκ τῆς τούτου ψυχῆς

31 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν μὴ ὂν τὸ παιδάριον μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν τελευτήσει καὶ κατάξουσιν οἱ παῖδές σου τὸ γῆρας τοῦ παιδός σου πατρὸς δὲ ἡμῶν μετ᾽ ὀδύνης εἰς ᾅδου

32 ὁ γὰρ παῖς σου ἐκδέδεκται τὸ παιδίον παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς λέγων ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγω αὐτὸν πρὸς σὲ καὶ στήσω αὐτὸν ἐναντίον σου ἡμαρτηκὼς ἔσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

33 νῦν οὖν παραμενῶ σοι παῖς ἀντὶ τοῦ παιδίου οἰκέτης τοῦ κυρίου τὸ δὲ παιδίον ἀναβήτω μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν

34 πῶς γὰρ ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα τοῦ παιδίου μὴ ὄντος μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ἵνα μὴ ἴδω τὰ κακά ἃ εὑρήσει τὸν πατέρα μου

1 Præcepit autem Joseph dispensatori domus suæ, dicens: Imple saccos eorum frumento, quantum possunt capere: et pone pecuniam singulorum in summitate sacci.

2 Scyphum autem meum argenteum, et pretium quod dedit tritici, pone in ore sacci junioris. Factumque est ita.

3 Et orto mane, dimissi sunt cum asinis suis.

4 Jamque urbem exierant, et processerant paululum: tunc Joseph accersito dispensatore domus, Surge, inquit, et persequere viros: et apprehensis dicito: Quare reddidistis malum pro bono?

5 scyphus, quem furati estis, ipse est in quo bibit dominus meus, et in quo augurari solet: pessimam rem fecistis.

6 Fecit ille ut jusserat: et apprehensis per ordinem locutus est.

7 Qui responderunt: Quare sic loquitur dominus noster, ut servi tui tantum flagitii commiserint?

8 pecuniam, quam invenimus in summitate saccorum, reportavimus ad te de terra Chanaan: et quomodo consequens est ut furati simus de domo domini tui aurum vel argentum?

9 apud quemcumque fuerit inventum servorum tuorum quod quæris, moriatur, et nos erimus servi domini nostri.

10 Qui dixit eis: Fiat juxta vestram sententiam: apud quemcumque fuerit inventus, ipse sit servus meus, vos autem eritis innoxii.

11 Itaque festinato deponentes in terram saccos, aperuerunt singuli.

12 Quos scrutatus, incipiens a majore usque ad minimum, invenit scyphum in sacco Benjamin.

13 At illi, scissis vestibus, oneratisque rursum asinis, reversi sunt in oppidum.

14 Primusque Judas cum fratribus ingressus est ad Joseph (necdum enim de loco abierat) omnesque ante eum pariter in terram corruerunt.

15 Quibus ille ait: Cur sic agere voluistis? an ignoratis quod non sit similis mei in augurandi scientia?

16 Cui Judas: Quid respondebimus, inquit, domino meo? vel quid loquemur, aut juste poterimus obtendere? Deus invenit iniquitatem servorum tuorum: en omnes servi sumus domini mei, et nos, et apud quem inventus est scyphus.

17 Respondit Joseph: Absit a me ut sic agam: qui furatus est scyphum, ipse sit servus meus: vos autem abite liberi ad patrem vestrum.

18 Accedens autem propius Judas, confidenter ait: Oro, domini mi, loquatur servus tuus verbum in auribus tuis, et ne irascaris famulo tuo: tu es enim post Pharaonem

19 dominus meus. Interrogasti prius servos tuos: Habetis patrem aut fratrem?

20 et nos respondimus tibi domino meo: Est nobis pater senex, et puer parvulus, qui in senectute illius natus est: cujus uterinus frater mortuus est: et ipsum solum habet mater sua, pater vero tenere diliget eum.

21 Dixistique servis tuis: Adducite eum ad me, et ponam oculos meos super illum.

22 Suggessimus domino meo: Non potest puer relinquere patrem suum: si enim illum dimiserit, morietur.

23 Et dixisti servis tuis: Nisi venerit frater vester minimus vobiscum, non videbitis amplius faciem meam.

24 Cum ergo ascendissemus ad famulum tuum patrem nostrum, narravimus ei omnia quæ locutus est dominus meus.

25 Et dixit pater noster: Revertimini, et emite nobis parum tritici.

26 Cui diximus: Ire non possumus: si frater noster minimus descenderit nobiscum, proficiscemur simul: alioquin illo absente, non audemus videre faciem viri.

27 Ad quæ ille respondit: Vos scitis quod duos genuerit mihi uxor mea.

28 Egressus est unus, et dixistis: Bestia devoravit eum: et hucusque non comparet.

29 Si tuleritis et istum, et aliquid ei in via contigerit, deducetis canos meos cum mœrore ad inferos.

30 Igitur si intravero ad servum tuum patrem nostrum, et puer defuerit (cum anima illius ex hujus anima pendeat),

31 videritque eum non esse nobiscum, morietur, et deducent famuli tui canos ejus cum dolore ad inferos.

32 Ego proprie servus tuus sim qui in meam hunc recepi fidem, et spopondi dicens: Nisi reduxero eum, peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore.

33 Manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerio domini mei, et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis.

34 Non enim possum redire ad patrem meum, absente puero: ne calamitatis, quæ oppressura est patrem meum, testis assistam.
