King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And the famine[H7458] was sore[H3515] in the land.[H776]

2. And it came to pass,[H1961] when[H834] they had eaten up[H3615] [H398] [H853] the corn[H7668] which[H834] they had brought[H935] out of Egypt,[H4480] [H4714] their father[H1] said[H559] unto[H413] them, Go again,[H7725] buy[H7666] us a little[H4592] food.[H400]

3. And Judah[H3063] spoke[H559] unto[H413] him, saying,[H559] The man[H376] did solemnly protest[H5749] [H5749] unto us, saying,[H559] Ye shall not[H3808] see[H7200] my face,[H6440] except[H1115] your brother[H251] be with[H854] you.

4. If[H518] thou wilt[H3426] send[H7971] [H853] our brother[H251] with[H854] us, we will go down[H3381] and buy[H7666] thee food: [H400]

5. But if[H518] thou wilt not[H369] send[H7971] him, we will not[H3808] go down:[H3381] for[H3588] the man[H376] said[H559] unto[H413] us, Ye shall not[H3808] see[H7200] my face,[H6440] except[H1115] your brother[H251] be with[H854] you.

6. And Israel[H3478] said,[H559] Wherefore[H4100] dealt ye so ill[H7489] with me, as to tell[H5046] the man[H376] whether ye had yet[H5750] a brother?[H251]

7. And they said,[H559] The man[H376] asked us straitly[H7592] [H7592] of our state, and of our kindred,[H4138] saying,[H559] Is your father[H1] yet[H5750] alive?[H2416] have[H3426] ye another brother?[H251] and we told[H5046] him according to[H5921] the tenor[H6310] of these[H428] words:[H1697] could we certainly know[H3045] [H3045] that[H3588] he would say,[H559] Bring your brother down?[H3381] [H853] [H251]

8. And Judah[H3063] said[H559] unto[H413] Israel[H3478] his father,[H1] Send[H7971] the lad[H5288] with[H854] me, and we will arise[H6965] and go;[H1980] that we may live,[H2421] and not[H3808] die,[H4191] both[H1571] we,[H587] and[H1571] thou,[H859] and also[H1571] our little ones.[H2945]

9. I[H595] will be surety[H6148] for him; of my hand[H4480] [H3027] shalt thou require[H1245] him: if[H518] I bring[H935] him not[H3808] unto[H413] thee, and set[H3322] him before[H6440] thee, then let me bear the blame[H2398] forever:[H3605] [H3117]

10. For[H3588] except[H3884] we had lingered,[H4102] surely[H3588] now[H6258] we had returned[H7725] this[H2088] second time.[H6471]

11. And their father[H1] Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto[H413] them, If[H518] it must be so[H3651] now,[H645] do[H6213] this;[H2063] take[H3947] of the best fruits[H4480] [H2173] in the land[H776] in your vessels,[H3627] and carry down[H3381] the man[H376] a present,[H4503] a little[H4592] balm,[H6875] and a little[H4592] honey,[H1706] spices,[H5219] and myrrh,[H3910] nuts,[H992] and almonds: [H8247]

12. And take[H3947] double[H4932] money[H3701] in your hand;[H3027] and the money[H3701] that was brought again[H7725] in the mouth[H6310] of your sacks,[H572] carry it again[H7725] in your hand;[H3027] peradventure[H194] it[H1931] was an oversight: [H4870]

13. Take[H3947] also your brother,[H251] and arise,[H6965] go again[H7725] unto[H413] the man: [H376]

14. And God[H410] Almighty[H7706] give[H5414] you mercy[H7356] before[H6440] the man,[H376] that he may send away[H7971] [H853] your other[H312] brother,[H251] and Benjamin.[H1144] If[H834] I[H589] be bereaved[H7921] of my children, I am bereaved.[H7921]

15. And the men[H376] took[H3947] [H853] that[H2063] present,[H4503] and they took[H3947] double[H4932] money[H3701] in their hand,[H3027] and Benjamin;[H1144] and rose up,[H6965] and went down[H3381] to Egypt,[H4714] and stood[H5975] before[H6440] Joseph.[H3130]

16. And when Joseph[H3130] saw[H7200] [H853] Benjamin[H1144] with[H854] them, he said[H559] to the ruler of[H834] [H5921] his house,[H1004] Bring[H935] [H853] these men[H376] home,[H1004] and slay,[H2873] [H2874] and make ready;[H3559] for[H3588] these men[H376] shall dine[H398] with[H854] me at noon.[H6672]

17. And the man[H376] did[H6213] as[H834] Joseph[H3130] bade;[H559] and the man[H376] brought[H935] [H853] the men[H376] into Joseph's[H3130] house.[H1004]

18. And the men[H376] were afraid,[H3372] because[H3588] they were brought[H935] into Joseph's[H3130] house;[H1004] and they said,[H559] Because of[H5921] [H1697] the money[H3701] that was returned[H7725] in our sacks[H572] at the first time[H8462] are we[H587] brought in;[H935] that he may seek occasion[H1556] against[H5921] us, and fall[H5307] upon[H5921] us, and take[H3947] us for bondmen,[H5650] and our asses.[H2543]

19. And they came near[H5066] to[H413] the steward[H376] [H834] [H5921] of Joseph's[H3130] house,[H1004] and they communed[H1696] with[H413] him at the door[H6607] of the house,[H1004]

20. And said,[H559] O[H994] sir,[H113] we came indeed down[H3381] [H3381] at the first time[H8462] to buy[H7666] food: [H400]

21. And it came to pass,[H1961] when[H3588] we came[H935] to[H413] the inn,[H4411] that we opened[H6605] [H853] our sacks,[H572] and, behold,[H2009] every man's[H376] money[H3701] was in the mouth[H6310] of his sack,[H572] our money[H3701] in full weight:[H4948] and we have brought it again[H7725] [H853] in our hand.[H3027]

22. And other[H312] money[H3701] have we brought down[H3381] in our hands[H3027] to buy[H7666] food:[H400] we cannot[H3808] tell[H3045] who[H4310] put[H7760] our money[H3701] in our sacks.[H572]

23. And he said,[H559] Peace[H7965] be to you, fear[H3372] not:[H408] your God,[H430] and the God[H430] of your father,[H1] hath given[H5414] you treasure[H4301] in your sacks:[H572] I had[H935] your money.[H3701] And he brought Simeon out[H3318] [H853] [H8095] unto[H413] them.

24. And the man[H376] brought[H935] [H853] the men[H376] into Joseph's[H3130] house,[H1004] and gave[H5414] them water,[H4325] and they washed[H7364] their feet;[H7272] and he gave[H5414] their asses[H2543] provender.[H4554]

25. And they made ready[H3559] [H853] the present[H4503] against[H5704] Joseph[H3130] came[H935] at noon:[H6672] for[H3588] they heard[H8085] that[H3588] they should eat[H398] bread[H3899] there.[H8033]

26. And when Joseph[H3130] came[H935] home,[H1004] they brought[H935] him[H853] the present[H4503] which[H834] was in their hand[H3027] into the house,[H1004] and bowed themselves[H7812] to him to the earth.[H776]

27. And he asked[H7592] them of their welfare,[H7965] and said,[H559] Is your father[H1] well,[H7965] the old man[H2205] of whom[H834] ye spoke?[H559] Is he yet[H5750] alive?[H2416]

28. And they answered,[H559] Thy servant[H5650] our father[H1] is in good health,[H7965] he is yet[H5750] alive.[H2416] And they bowed down their heads,[H6915] and made obeisance.[H7812]

29. And he lifted up[H5375] his eyes,[H5869] and saw[H7200] his brother[H251] [H853] Benjamin,[H1144] his mother's[H517] son,[H1121] and said,[H559] Is this[H2088] your younger[H6996] brother,[H251] of whom[H834] ye spoke[H559] unto[H413] me? And he said,[H559] God[H430] be gracious[H2603] unto thee, my son.[H1121]

30. And Joseph[H3130] made haste;[H4116] for[H3588] his bowels[H7356] did yearn[H3648] upon[H413] his brother:[H251] and he sought[H1245] where to weep;[H1058] and he entered into[H935] his chamber,[H2315] and wept[H1058] there.[H8033]

31. And he washed[H7364] his face,[H6440] and went out,[H3318] and refrained himself,[H662] and said,[H559] Set on[H7760] bread.[H3899]

32. And they set on[H7760] for him by himself,[H905] and for them by themselves,[H905] and for the Egyptians,[H4713] which did eat[H398] with[H854] him, by themselves:[H905] because[H3588] the Egyptians[H4713] might[H3201] not[H3808] eat[H398] bread[H3899] with[H854] the Hebrews;[H5680] for[H3588] that[H1931] is an abomination[H8441] unto the Egyptians.[H4714]

33. And they sat[H3427] before[H6440] him, the firstborn[H1060] according to his birthright,[H1062] and the youngest[H6810] according to his youth:[H6812] and the men[H376] marveled[H8539] one[H376] at[H413] another.[H7453]

34. And he took[H5375] and sent messes[H4864] unto[H413] them from[H4480] [H854] before[H6440] him: but Benjamin's[H1144] mess[H4864] was five times so much as[H7235] [H4480] [H4864] [H2568] [H3027] any[H3605] of theirs. And they drank,[H8354] and were merry[H7937] with[H5973] him.
