King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And he commanded[H6680] [H853] the steward[H834] [H5921] of his house,[H1004] saying,[H559] Fill[H4390] [H853] the men's[H376] sacks[H572] with food,[H400] as much as[H834] they can[H3201] carry,[H5375] and put[H7760] every man's[H376] money[H3701] in his sack's[H572] mouth.[H6310]

2. And put[H7760] my cup,[H1375] the silver[H3701] cup,[H1375] in the sack's[H572] mouth[H6310] of the youngest,[H6996] and his corn[H7668] money.[H3701] And he did[H6213] according to the word[H1697] that[H834] Joseph[H3130] had spoken.[H1696]

3. As soon as the morning[H1242] was light,[H215] the men[H376] were sent away,[H7971] they[H1992] and their asses.[H2543]

4. And when they[H1992] were gone out of[H3318] [H853] the city,[H5892] and not[H3808] yet far off,[H7368] Joseph[H3130] said[H559] unto his steward,[H834] [H5921] [H1004] Up,[H6965] follow[H7291] after[H310] the men;[H376] and when thou dost overtake[H5381] them, say[H559] unto[H413] them, Wherefore[H4100] have ye rewarded[H7999] evil[H7451] for[H8478] good?[H2896]

5. Is not[H3808] this[H2088] it in which[H834] my lord[H113] drinketh,[H8354] and whereby indeed he divineth?[H1931] [H5172] [H5172] ye have done evil[H7489] in so[H834] doing.[H6213]

6. And he overtook[H5381] them, and he spoke[H1696] unto[H413] them[H853] these same[H428] words.[H1697]

7. And they said[H559] unto[H413] him, Wherefore[H4100] saith[H1696] my lord[H113] these[H428] words?[H1697] God forbid[H2486] that thy servants[H5650] should do[H4480] [H6213] according to this[H2088] thing: [H1697]

8. Behold,[H2005] the money,[H3701] which[H834] we found[H4672] in our sacks'[H572] mouths,[H6310] we brought again[H7725] unto[H413] thee out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Canaan:[H3667] how[H349] then should we steal[H1589] out of thy lord's house[H4480] [H1004] [H113] silver[H3701] or[H176] gold?[H2091]

9. With[H854] whomsoever[H834] of thy servants[H4480] [H5650] it be found,[H4672] both let him die,[H4191] and we[H587] also[H1571] will be[H1961] my lord's[H113] bondmen.[H5650]

10. And he said,[H559] Now[H6258] also[H1571] [H3651] let it[H1931] be according unto your words:[H1697] he with[H854] whom[H834] it is found[H4672] shall be[H1961] my servant;[H5650] and ye[H859] shall be[H1961] blameless.[H5355]

11. Then they speedily[H4116] took down[H3381] every man[H376] [H853] his sack[H572] to the ground,[H776] and opened[H6605] every man[H376] his sack.[H572]

12. And he searched,[H2664] and began[H2490] at the eldest,[H1419] and left[H3615] at the youngest:[H6996] and the cup[H1375] was found[H4672] in Benjamin's[H1144] sack.[H572]

13. Then they rent[H7167] their clothes,[H8071] and laded[H6006] every man[H376] his ass,[H2543] and returned[H7725] to the city.[H5892]

14. And Judah[H3063] and his brethren[H251] came[H935] to Joseph's[H3130] house;[H1004] for he[H1931] was yet[H5750] there:[H8033] and they fell[H5307] before[H6440] him on the ground.[H776]

15. And Joseph[H3130] said[H559] unto them, What[H4100] deed[H4639] is this[H2088] that[H834] ye have done?[H6213] know[H3045] ye not[H3808] that[H3588] such a man[H376] as I[H3644] can certainly divine?[H5172] [H5172]

16. And Judah[H3063] said,[H559] What[H4100] shall we say[H559] unto my lord?[H113] what[H4100] shall we speak?[H1696] or how[H4100] shall we clear ourselves?[H6663] God[H430] hath found out[H4672] [H853] the iniquity[H5771] of thy servants:[H5650] behold,[H2009] we are my lord's[H113] servants,[H5650] both[H1571] we,[H587] and he also[H1571] with whom[H834] [H3027] the cup[H1375] is found.[H4672]

17. And he said,[H559] God forbid[H2486] that I should do[H4480] [H6213] so:[H2063] but the man[H376] in whose[H834] hand[H3027] the cup[H1375] is found,[H4672] he[H1931] shall be[H1961] my servant;[H5650] and as for you,[H859] get you up[H5927] in peace[H7965] unto[H413] your father.[H1]

18. Then Judah[H3063] came near[H5066] unto him,[H413] and said,[H559] Oh[H994] my lord,[H113] let thy servant,[H5650] I pray thee,[H4994] speak[H1696] a word[H1697] in my lord's[H113] ears,[H241] and let not[H408] thine anger[H639] burn[H2734] against thy servant:[H5650] for[H3588] thou art even as[H3644] Pharaoh.[H6547]

19. My lord[H113] asked[H7592] [H853] his servants,[H5650] saying,[H559] Have[H3426] ye a father,[H1] or[H176] a brother?[H251]

20. And we said[H559] unto[H413] my lord,[H113] We have[H3426] a father,[H1] an old man,[H2205] and a child[H3206] of his old age,[H2208] a little one;[H6996] and his brother[H251] is dead,[H4191] and he[H1931] alone[H905] is left[H3498] of his mother,[H517] and his father[H1] loveth[H157] him.

21. And thou saidst[H559] unto[H413] thy servants,[H5650] Bring him down[H3381] unto[H413] me, that I may set[H7760] mine eyes[H5869] upon[H5921] him.

22. And we said[H559] unto[H413] my lord,[H113] The lad[H5288] cannot[H3808] [H3201] leave[H5800] [H853] his father:[H1] for if he should leave[H5800] [H853] his father,[H1] his father would die.[H4191]

23. And thou saidst[H559] unto[H413] thy servants,[H5650] Except[H518] [H3808] your youngest[H6996] brother[H251] come down[H3381] with[H854] you, ye shall see[H7200] my face[H6440] no[H3808] more.[H3254]

24. And it came to pass[H1961] when[H3588] we came up[H5927] unto[H413] thy servant[H5650] my father,[H1] we told[H5046] him[H853] the words[H1697] of my lord.[H113]

25. And our father[H1] said,[H559] Go again,[H7725] and buy[H7666] us a little[H4592] food.[H400]

26. And we said,[H559] We cannot[H3808] [H3201] go down:[H3381] if[H518] our youngest[H6996] brother[H251] be[H3426] with[H854] us, then will we go down:[H3381] for[H3588] we may[H3201] not[H3808] see[H7200] the man's[H376] face,[H6440] except[H369] our youngest[H6996] brother[H251] be with[H854] us.

27. And thy servant[H5650] my father[H1] said[H559] unto[H413] us, Ye[H859] know[H3045] that[H3588] my wife[H802] bore[H3205] me two[H8147] sons:

28. And the one[H259] went out[H3318] from[H4480] [H854] me, and I said,[H559] Surely[H389] he is torn in pieces;[H2963] [H2963] and I saw[H7200] him not[H3808] since:[H5704] [H2008]

29. And if ye take[H3947] [H853] this[H2088] also[H1571] from[H4480] [H5973] me,[H6440] and mischief[H611] befall[H7136] him, ye shall bring down[H3381] [H853] my gray hairs[H7872] with sorrow[H7451] to the grave.[H7585]

30. Now[H6258] therefore when I come[H935] to[H413] thy servant[H5650] my father,[H1] and the lad[H5288] be not[H369] with[H854] us; seeing that his life[H5315] is bound up[H7194] in the lad's life;[H5315]

31. It shall come to pass,[H1961] when he seeth[H7200] that[H3588] the lad[H5288] is not[H369] with us, that he will die:[H4191] and thy servants[H5650] shall bring down[H3381] [H853] the gray hairs[H7872] of thy servant[H5650] our father[H1] with sorrow[H3015] to the grave.[H7585]

32. For[H3588] thy servant[H5650] became surety[H6148] for[H853] the lad[H5288] unto[H4480] [H5973] my father,[H1] saying,[H559] If[H518] I bring[H935] him not[H3808] unto[H413] thee, then I shall bear the blame[H2398] to my father[H1] forever.[H3605] [H3117]

33. Now[H6258] therefore, I pray thee,[H4994] let thy servant[H5650] abide[H3427] instead of[H8478] the lad[H5288] a bondman[H5650] to my lord;[H113] and let the lad[H5288] go up[H5927] with[H5973] his brethren.[H251]

34. For[H3588] how[H349] shall I go up[H5927] to[H413] my father,[H1] and the lad[H5288] be not[H369] with[H854] me? lest peradventure[H6435] I see[H7200] the evil[H7451] that[H834] shall come on[H4672] [H853] my father.[H1]
