Matthew Chapter 26
26:1And it came to pass. when Yahshua had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
26:2Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be impaled.
26:3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
26:4And consulted that they might take Yahshua by subtilty, and kill him.
26:5But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
26:6Now when Yahshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
26:7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
26:8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
26:9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
26:10When Yahshua understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
26:11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
26:12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
26:13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this good news shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
26:14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
26:15And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
26:16And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
26:17Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yahshua, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
26:18And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
26:19And the disciples did as Yahshua had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
26:20Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
26:21And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
26:22And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Master, is it I?
26:23And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
26:24The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
26:25Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26:26And as they were eating, Yahshua took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
26:27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
26:28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
26:29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
26:30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
26:31Then saith Yahshua unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
26:32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
26:33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
26:34Yahshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
26:35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
26:36Then cometh Yahshua with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
26:37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
26:38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
26:39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
26:40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
26:41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
26:42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
26:43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
26:44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
26:45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
26:46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
26:47And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
26:48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
26:49And forthwith he came to Yahshua, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
26:50And Yahshua said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Yahshua, and took him.
26:51And, behold, one of them which were with Yahshua stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
26:52Then said Yahshua unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
26:53Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
26:54But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
26:55In that same hour said Yahshua to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
26:56But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
26:57And they that had laid hold on Yahshua led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
26:58But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
26:59Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Yahshua, to put him to death;
26:60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
26:61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of Yahweh, and to build it in three days.
26:62And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
26:63But Yahshua held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living Elohim, that thou tell us whether thou be the Messiah, the Son of Yahweh.
26:64Yahshua saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
26:65Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
26:66What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
26:67Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
26:68Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Messiah, Who is he that smote thee?
26:69Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Yahshua of Galilee.
26:70But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
26:71And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Yahshua of Nazareth.
26:72And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
26:73And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
26:74Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
26:75And Peter remembered the word of Yahshua, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
26:1And it came to pass. when Yahshua had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
26:2Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be impaled.
26:3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
26:4And consulted that they might take Yahshua by subtilty, and kill him.
26:5But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

26:8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
26:9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
26:10When Yahshua understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
26:11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
26:12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
26:13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this good news shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

26:38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
26:39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
26:40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
26:41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
26:42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
26:43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
26:44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
26:45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
26:46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
26:47And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
26:48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
26:49And forthwith he came to Yahshua, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
26:50And Yahshua said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Yahshua, and took him.
26:51And, behold, one of them which were with Yahshua stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
26:52Then said Yahshua unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Proverb Chapter 26
26:1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
26:2As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
26:3A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.
26:4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
26:5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
26:6He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
26:7The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
26:8As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
26:9As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
26:10The great Elohim that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
26:11As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
26:12Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
26:13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
26:14As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
26:15The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
26:16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
26:17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
26:18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
26:19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
26:20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
26:21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
26:22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
26:23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
26:24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
26:25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26:26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
26:27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
26:28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
26:1As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

Genesis Chapter 41 & 42
41:1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
41:2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
41:3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
41:4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
41:5And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
41:6And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
41:7And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
41:8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
41:9Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
41:10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
41:11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
41:12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
41:13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
41:14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
41:15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
41:16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: Elohim shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
41:17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
41:18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
41:19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
41:20And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
41:21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
41:22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
41:23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
41:24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
41:25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: Elohim hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
41:26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
41:27And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
41:28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What Elohim is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
41:29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
41:30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
41:31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
41:32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by Elohim, and Elohim will shortly bring it to pass.
41:33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
41:34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
41:35And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
41:36And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
41:37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
41:38And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of Elohim is?
41:39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as Elohim hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
41:40Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41:41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
41:42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
41:43And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
41:44And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
41:45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
41:46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
41:47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
41:48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
41:49And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
41:50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
41:51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For Elohim, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
41:52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For Elohim hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
41:53And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
41:54And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
41:55And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
41:56And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
41:57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
41:1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
41:2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
41:3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
41:4And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
41:5And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
41:6And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
41:7And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
41:8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
41:9Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
41:10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
41:11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
41:12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
41:13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
41:14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
41:15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
41:16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: Elohim shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
41:17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
41:18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
41:19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
41:20And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
41:21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
41:22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
41:23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
41:24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
41:25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: Elohim hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
41:26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
41:27And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
41:28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What Elohim is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
41:29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
41:30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
41:31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
41:32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by Elohim, and Elohim will shortly bring it to pass.
41:33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
41:34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
41:35And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
41:36And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
41:37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
41:38And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of Elohim is?
41:39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as Elohim hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
41:40Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41:41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
41:42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
41:43And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
41:44And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
41:45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
41:46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
41:47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
41:48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
41:49And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
41:50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
41:51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For Elohim, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
41:52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For Elohim hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
41:53And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
41:54And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
41:55And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
41:56And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
41:57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
Genesis Chapter 42
42:1Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
42:2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
42:3And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
42:4But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
42:5And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
42:6And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
42:7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
42:8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
42:9And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
42:10And they said unto him, Nay, my sovereign, but to buy food are thy servants come.
42:11We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
42:12And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
42:13And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
42:14And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
42:15Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
42:16Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
42:17And he put them all together into ward three days.
42:18And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear Elohim:
42:19If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
42:20But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
42:21And they said one to another, We are verily 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.
42:22And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
42:23And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
42:24And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
42:25Then Joseph commanded 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 did he unto them.
42:26And they laded their donkeys with the corn, and departed thence.
42:27And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
42:28And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that Elohim hath done unto us?
42:29And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
42:30The man, who is the sovereign of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
42:31And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
42:32We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
42:33And the man, the sovereign of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
42:34And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
42:35And 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.
42:36And Jacob their father said unto them, me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
42:37And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
42:38And 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 the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
42:1Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
42:2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
42:3And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
42:4But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
42:5And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
42:6And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
42:7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
42:8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
42:9And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
42:10And they said unto him, Nay, my sovereign, but to buy food are thy servants come.
42:11We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
42:12And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
42:13And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
42:14And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
42:15Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
42:16Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
42:17And he put them all together into ward three days.
42:18And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear Elohim:
42:19If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
42:20But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
42:21And they said one to another, We are verily 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.
42:22And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
