Matthew Chapter 27
27:1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Yahshua to put him to death:
27:2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
27:3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
27:4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
27:5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
27:6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
27:7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
27:8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
27:9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
27:10And gave them for the potter's field, as Yahweh appointed me.
27:11And Yahshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Yahshua said unto him, Thou sayest.
27:12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
27:13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
27:14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
27:15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
27:16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
27:17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Yahshua which is called Messiah?
27:18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
27:19When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
27:20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Yahshua.
27:21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
27:22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Yahshua which is called Messiah? They all say unto him, Let him be impaled.
27:23And the governor said Why, what evil hath he done But they cried out the more, saying Let him be impaled
27:24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
27:25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
27:26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Yahshua, he delivered him to be impaled.
27:27Then the soldiers of the governor took Yahshua into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
27:28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
27:29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
27:30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
27:31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to impale him.
27:32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his stake.
27:33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
27:34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
27:35And they impaled him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
27:36And sitting down they watched him there;
27:37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS YAHSHUA THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27:38Then were there two thieves impaled with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
27:39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
27:40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of Elohim, come down from the tree.
27:41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
27:42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the tree, and we will believe him.
27:43He trusted in Yahweh; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of Yahweh.
27:44The thieves also, which were impaled with him, cast the same in his teeth.
27:45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
27:46And about the ninth hour Yahshua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My El, my El, why hast thou forsaken me?
27:47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
27:48And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
27:49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
27:50Yahshua, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit.
27:51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
27:52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
27:53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
27:54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Yahshua, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of Yahweh.
27:55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Yahshua from Galilee, ministering unto him:
27:56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
27:57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Yahshua's disciple:
27:58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Yahshua. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
27:59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
27:60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
27:61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
27:62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
27:63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
27:64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
27:65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
27:66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
27:1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Yahshua to put him to death:
27:2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
27:3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

Proverb Chapter 27
27:1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
27:2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
27:3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
27:4Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
27:5Open rebuke is better than secret love.
27:6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
27:7The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
27:8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
27:9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
27:10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
27:11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
27:12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
27:13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
27:14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
27:15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
27:16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
27:17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
27:18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
27:19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
27:20The grave and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
27:21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
27:22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
27:23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
27:24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
27:25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
27:26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27:27And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
27:1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
27:2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

27:8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
27:9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
27:10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
27:11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

27:13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
27:14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
27:15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
27:16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
27:17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
27:18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
27:19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
27:20The grave and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
27:21As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
27:22Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
27:23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
27:24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
27:25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
27:26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27:27And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
Genesis Chapter 43 & 44
43:1And the famine was sore in the land.
43:2And 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.
43:3And 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.
43:4If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
43:5But 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.
43:6And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
43:7And 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?
43:8And 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.
43:9I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
43:10For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
43:11And 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:
43:12And 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:
43:13Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
43:14And El 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.
43:15And 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.
43:16And 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.
43:17And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
43:18And 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 donkeys.
43:19And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
43:20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
43:21And 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.
43:22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
43:23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your Elohim, and the Elohim of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
43:24And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys provender.
43:25And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
43:26And 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.
43:27And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
43:28And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
43:29And 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, Elohim be gracious unto thee, my son.
43:30And 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.
43:31And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
43:32And 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.
43:33And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
43:34And 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.
43:1And the famine was sore in the land.
43:2And 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.
43:3And 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.
43:4If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
43:5But 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.
43:6And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
43:7And 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?
43:8And 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.
43:9I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
43:10For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
43:11And 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:
43:12And 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:
43:13Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
43:14And El 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.
43:15And 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.
43:16And 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.
43:17And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
43:18And 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 donkeys.
43:19And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
43:20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
43:21And 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.
43:22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
43:23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your Elohim, and the Elohim of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
43:24And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys provender.
43:25And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
43:26And 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.
43:27And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
43:28And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
43:29And 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, Elohim be gracious unto thee, my son.
43:30And 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.
43:31And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
43:32And 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.
43:33And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
43:34And 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.
Genesis Chapter 44
44:1And he 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.
44:2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
44:3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
44:4And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
44:5Is not this it in which my sovereign drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
44:6And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
44:7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my sovereign these words? Far be it that thy servants should do according to this thing:
44:8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy sovereign's house silver or gold?
44:9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my sovereign's bondmen.
44:10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
44:11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
44:12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
44:13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his donkey, and returned to the city.
44:14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
44:15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
44:16And Judah said, What shall we say unto my sovereign? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? Elohim hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my sovereign's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
44:17And he said, Far be it that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
44:18Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my sovereign, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my sovereign's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
44:19My sovereign asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
44:20And we said unto my sovereign, 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 loveth him.
44:21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
44:22And we said unto my sovereign, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
44:23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
44:24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my sovereign.
44:25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
44:26And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
44:27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
44:28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
44:29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
44:30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
44:31It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
44:32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
44:33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my sovereign; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
44:34For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
44:1And he 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.
44:2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
44:3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
44:4And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
44:5Is not this it in which my sovereign drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
44:6And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
44:7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my sovereign these words? Far be it that thy servants should do according to this thing:
44:8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy sovereign's house silver or gold?
44:9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my sovereign's bondmen.
44:10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
44:11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
44:12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
44:13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his donkey, and returned to the city.
44:14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
44:15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
44:16And Judah said, What shall we say unto my sovereign? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? Elohim hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my sovereign's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
44:17And he said, Far be it that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
44:18Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my sovereign, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my sovereign's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
44:19My sovereign asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
44:20And we said unto my sovereign, 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 loveth him.
44:21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
44:22And we said unto my sovereign, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
44:23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
44:24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my sovereign.
44:25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
44:26And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
44:27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
44:28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
44:29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
44:30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
44:31It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
44:32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
44:33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my sovereign; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
44:34For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
