Now when Ya῾aqov saw that there was corn in Miżrayim, Ya῾aqov said to his sons, Why do you look at one another?

And Jacob saw that there was a grain sale in Egypt. And Jacob said to his sons: Why should you be looked upon [strangely by others for not stocking up before your food gives out]?

He said, Behold, I have heard that there is food for sale in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there, so that we will live and not die.

And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Miżrayim: go down there, and buy for us from there, that we may live, and not die.

And he said: Behold, I have heard that there is a (grain) sale in Egypt. Go down (redu) there [(the gematria of "redu" is 210, intimating the years of servitude in Egypt)], and buy grain for us from there so that we live and not die.

Yoseif’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

And Yosef’s ten brothers went down to buy corn in Miżrayim.

And the brothers of Joseph [(They went as "the brothers of Joseph," determined to redeem him)], ten, went down to buy grain from Egypt.

But Binyamin, Yoseif’s brother, Yaakov did not send along with his brothers, for he [Yaakov] said, Misfortune might befall him.

But Binyamin, Yosef’s brother, Ya῾aqov sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief befall him.

And Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, Jacob did not send with his brothers, saying: Lest he come to harm, [Satan "prosecuting" in time of danger (i.e., on the road)].

The sons of Yisrael came to buy among the others who came, for there was famine in the land of Canaan.

And the sons of Yisra᾽el came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Kena῾an.

And the children of Israel came, [mingling] in the midst of those who came [(Jacob having instructed them to enter separately so that their strength and beauty not arouse "the evil eye")], for the famine held sway in the land of Canaan.

And Joseph — he ruled the land. He sold (grain) to all the people of the land. And the brothers of Joseph came, and they prostrated themselves to him with their faces to the ground.

And Yosef knew his brethren, but they knew him not.

And Joseph recognized his brothers, [for they were already bearded when he left them], but they did not recognize him, [for he was unbearded when they parted].

Yoseif recalled the dreams that he had dreamt about them, and said to them, You are spies. You have come to see where the land is exposed.

And Yosef remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, You are spies; to see the nakedness of the land are you come.

And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed of them, [and he realized that they had been fulfilled (for they had bowed down to him)]. And he said to them: You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness ("the weak spots") of the land.

They said to him, No my master. Your servants have come to buy food.

And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

And they said to him: No, my lord, for your servants have come to buy food.

We are all the sons of one man. We are honest [men]. Your servants have never been spies.

We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

He said to them, No, You have come to see where the land is exposed.

And he said to them, No, but you are come to see the nakedness of the land.

And He said to them: No, but you came to see the nakedness of the land. [For, otherwise, why would you have come through ten different gates and not through one?]

They said, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. Behold the youngest one is this day with our father, and one is no more.

And they said, Thy servants are twelve, we are brothers, sons of one man in the land of Kena῾an; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.

And they said: We, your twelve servants, are brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and the youngest is with our father this day, and one is not with us, [and we "scattered" to seek him].

Yoseif said to them, That is just what I said to you, saying: you are spies.

And Yosef said to them, That is what I spoke to you, saying, you are spies:

And Joseph said to them: What I spoke of you, that you are spies, [is the truth].

You shall be tested in this manner. By Pharaoh’s life, you shall not leave from here unless your youngest brother comes here.

hereby you shall be proved; by the life of Par῾o you shall not go out of here unless your youngest brother comes here.

By this shall you be proved — by the life of Pharaoh, [(Joseph utilizing Pharaoh's name in swearing falsely)] — You shall not go out of here unless your youngest brother comes here.

Send one of you and let him bring your brother. You will remain locked up and your words will be tested whether there is any truth with you. If not, by Pharaoh’s life, you are spies.

Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Par῾o surely you are spies.

Send one of you and let him take your brother; and you shall be sequestered and your words be proved — Is truth with you? And if not [i.e., if you do not bring him], then, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies.

Yoseif said to them on the third day, Do this and live. I fear God.

And Yosef said to them on the third day, This do, and live: I fear God:

And Joseph said to them on the third day: Do this and you shall live; I fear G d.

If you are honest, one of your brothers will be imprisoned in your place of guarding, and you [the others] go bring food for your famished households.

if you are true men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement: and you go, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

If you are honest, let one of you be confined in your prison-house, and you, go and bring [to your father's house] provisions [to alleviate] the hunger of [the people of] your houses.

Bring your youngest brother to me, so that your words will be verified, and you will not die. They decided to do so.

but bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and you shall not die. And they did so.

And your youngest brother bring to me, so that your words be confirmed and you not die. And they did so.

They said to one another, In truth, we are guilty regarding our brother. We saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us and we did not listen. That is why this trouble has come upon us.

And they said one to another, Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

And they said one to the other: In truth, we are guilty over our brother for having seen the trouble of his soul in his entreating us and not having listened. Therefore, this trouble is come upon us.

Reuvein answered them saying, Did I not say to you to the following: Do not sin against the lad, but you did not listen; and now his blood is being avenged.

And Re᾽uven answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and you would not hear? therefore, behold, even his blood is required.

And Reuven answered them, saying: Did I not say to you: "Do not sin against the child?" and you did not heed me; and now his blood is also being demanded ["also," including the blood of "the old one" (Jacob)].

They did not know that Yoseif listened [understood], because the interpreter was between them.

And they knew not that Yosef understood them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter.

And they did not know that Joseph understood (what they were saying), for the interpreter [Menasheh] was (i.e., interpreted) between them [and Joseph (when they spoke with him)].

He turned away from them and cried. He returned to them and spoke to them. He took Shimon from them, and had him bound before their eyes.

And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and turned back to them, and spoke with them, and took from them Shim῾on, and bound him before their eyes.

And he walked off some distance from them and he wept. And he returned and spoke to them, and he took Shimon from them [(It was Shimon who had cast him into the pit and who had said to Levi (37:19): "Behold, this dreamer comes")], and he imprisoned him before their eyes [— and when they left, he released him and gave him food and drink.]

Yoseif gave orders—and their vessels were filled with grain, and each one’s money was replaced in his sack; and they were given provisions for the journey. This is what he did for them.

Then Yosef gave orders to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus it was performed.

And Joseph commanded that their vessels be filled with grain, that their money be returned, each to his sack, and that they be given provision for the way. And he did so to them.

They placed their purchases of grain on their donkeys and they departed from there.

And they loaded their asses with the corn, and departed from there.

And they lifted their grain onto their asses and they went from there.

The one opened his sack, to feed his donkey where they stayed overnight, and he saw his money, for behold it was in the opening of his bag.

And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging place, he saw his money; for, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

And the one [Levi] opened his sack to give feed to his ass in the night-lodging, and he saw his money, and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

He said to his brothers. My money has been returned, and behold it is also in my bag. Their hearts failed them and they trembled, saying one to another, What is this that Elohim has done to us?

And he said to his brethren, My money is returned; and, lo, it is in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?

And he said to his brothers: My money has been returned, and it, too, [along with the grain] is in my sack. And their hearts went out, and each trembled to his brothers, saying: What is this that G d has done to us [to bring this libel (that we stole the money) upon us]?

The man, the master of the land spoke to us harshly; and considered us as spies of the land.

The man, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and he accused us of spying out the land.

We said to him, We are honest people, we have never been spies.

And we said to him, We are true men; we are no spies:

And we said to him: We are honest; we were not spies.

We are twelve brothers, sons of our [the same] father. One is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Kena῾an.

We are twelve, brothers, sons of our father. One is not with us, and the youngest this day is with our father in the land of Canaan.

The man, the master of the land, said to us, This is how I shall know that you are honest. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take food for your famished households and go.

And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, Hereby shall I know that you are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

And the man, the lord of the land, said to us: By this shall I know that you are honest. Your one brother leave with me, and (food for) the hunger of your houses take and go.

Bring your youngest brother to me, and then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will return your brother to you, and you will [again] do business in the land.

and bring your youngest brother to me: then shall I know that you are no spies, but that you are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and you shall traffic in the land.

And bring your young brother to me, and I will know that you are not spies and that you are honest. Your brother will I give to you, and you will go about the land [in trade].

They were emptying their sacks, and behold each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. They saw their bundles of money—they and their father and they were afraid.

And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

And, as they emptied their sacks, behold, each (found) his money bundle in his sack. And they saw their money bundles, they and their father, and they were afraid.

Yaakov, their father, said to them, You have deprived me of children; Yoseif is no more, Shimon is no more, and you would take Binyamin: All this has happened to me.

And Ya῾aqov their father said to them, You have bereaved me of my children: Yosef is not, and Shim῾on is not, and you will take Binyamin away: all these things have come upon me.

And Jacob their father said to them: You have bereaved me [of children. He suspected that they may have killed Shimon or sold him as they did Joseph.] Joseph is not, and Shimon is not, and you would take Benjamin! Upon me have all of them been.

Reuvein spoke to his father saying, Put my two sons to death if I do not bring him [Binyamin] back to you. Give him into my hands, and I will return him to you.

And Re᾽uven spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.

And Reuven said to his father: You may kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to me and I will return him to you.

He [Yaakov] said, My son will not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and only he remains. Should misfortune befall him on the way you are going, you will bring my white head down to the grave in sorrow.

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in which you go, then shall you bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to She᾽ol.

And he said: My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone remains, and if an accident befall him on the way on which you go, then you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to the grave.
