Genesis 43:1–44:34
1But the famine prevailed in the land. 2And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food. 3And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you. 4If, then, thou send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy thee food; 5but if thou send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you. 6And Israel said, Why did ye harm me, inasmuch as ye told the man that ye had a brother? 7And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have ye a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother? 8And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and thou, and our store. 9And I engage for him; at my hand do thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty toward thee for ever. 10For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice. 11And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts. 12And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest peradventure it is a mistake. 13And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man. 14And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved. 15And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 16And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and slay beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon. 17And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph. 18And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses. 19And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house, 20saying, We pray [thee], Sir; we came down at first to buy food. 21And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands. 22And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks. 23And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them. 24And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses. 25And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there. 26And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground. 27And he asked them, How are ye? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom ye spoke, well? Does he yet live? 28And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God;—and they bowed, and did him reverence. 29And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom ye spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on thee, my son. 30And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there. 31And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 32And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians. 33And they sat before him, the first-born according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother. 34And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him. Chapter 441And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack. 2And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said. 3The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses. 4And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and thou shalt overtake them, and say to them, Why have ye returned evil for good? 5Why have ye stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; ye have accomplished evil in that which ye have done. 6And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words. 7And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word. 8If we brought back to thee out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of thy lord? 9With whomsoever of thy servants thou shalt find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord. 10And he said, Now then it shall be as ye say; with whomsoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and ye shall be clear. 11And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack. 12And he searched, beginning from the eldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack. 13And they rent their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city. 14And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him. 15And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that ye have done? know ye not that a man such as I can surely divine? 16And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of thy servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found. 17And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do ye go up with safety to your father. 18And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let thy servant speak a word before thee, and be not angry with thy servant, for thou art next to Pharao. 19Sir, thou askedst thy servants, saying, Have ye a father or a brother? 20And we said to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him. 21And thou saidst to thy servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him. 22And we said to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die. 23But thou saidst to thy servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face again. 24And it came to pass, when we went up to thy servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord. 25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. 26And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us. 27And thy servant our father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons]; 28and one is departed from me; and ye said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now. 29If then ye take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall ye bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. 30Now then, if I should go in to thy servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)— 31it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and thy servants will bring down the old age of thy servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. 32For thy servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever. 33Now then I will remain a servant with thee instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren. 34For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befal my father.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 10:1–7(MT: 11)
MT Psalm 11 = LXX Psalm 10 (standard offset).
1For the end, a Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow? 2For behold the sinners have bent [their] bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart. 3For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done? 4The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men. 5The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul. 6He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup. 7For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 4:10–13
10Hear, [my] son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many. 11For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths. 12For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed. 13Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 14:22–36
22And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 34And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
