Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:24 - He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He answered, “I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:25 - Then he said, “Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:26 - Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:27 - So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said,
“See, the smell of my son
is as the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:31 - He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:32 - His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:33 - Then Isaac trembled very violently and said, “Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:34 - As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, O my father!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:35 - But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:36 - Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob?[fn] For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:37 - Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:39 - Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, away from[fn] the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
and away from[fn] the dew of heaven on high.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:42 - But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:46 - Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I loathe my life because of the Hittite women.[fn] If Jacob marries one of the Hittite women like these, one of the women of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:13 - And behold, the LORD stood above it[fn] and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:17 - And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:4 - Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where do you come from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:5 - He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:7 - He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go, pasture them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:14 - and Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh!” And he stayed with him a month.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:15 - Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:18 - Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:19 - Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:21 - Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:25 - And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - Laban said, “It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:34 - Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:35 - And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she called his name Judah.[fn] Then she ceased bearing.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:1 - When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I shall die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:2 - Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:3 - Then she said, “Here is my servant Bilhah; go in to her, so that she may give birth on my behalf,[fn] that even I may have children[fn] through her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:6 - Then Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:8 - Then Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings[fn] I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” So she called his name Naphtali.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:11 - And Leah said, “Good fortune has come!” so she called his name Gad.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:13 - And Leah said, “Happy am I! For women have called me happy.” So she called his name Asher.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - In the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?” Rachel said, “Then he may lie with you tonight in exchange for your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:16 - When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come in to me, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So he lay with her that night.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:18 - Leah said, “God has given me my wages because I gave my servant to my husband.” So she called his name Issachar.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:20 - Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:23 - She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - As soon as Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own home and country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:27 - But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, I have learned by divination that[fn] the LORD has blessed me because of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:29 - Jacob said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you, and how your livestock has fared with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:31 - He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this for me, I will again pasture your flock and keep it:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:34 - Laban said, “Good! Let it be as you have said.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:3 - Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:5 - and said to them, “I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:12 - And he said, ‘Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that mate with the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:26 - And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have tricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:29 - It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your[fn] father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:31 - Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - Anyone with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen point out what I have that is yours, and take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - And she said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the household gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:36 - Then Jacob became angry and berated Laban. Jacob said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:43 - Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day for these my daughters or for their children whom they have borne?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:44 - Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I. And let it be a witness between you and me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” Therefore he named it Galeed,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:49 - and Mizpah,[fn] for he said, “The LORD watch between you and me, when we are out of one another's sight.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:2 - And when Jacob saw them he said, “This is God's camp!” So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:8 - thinking, “If Esau comes to the one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:9 - And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - and you shall say, ‘Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.'” For he thought, “I may appease him[fn] with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:26 - Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:27 - And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:28 - Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[fn] for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:29 - Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:5 - And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:8 - Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company[fn] that I met?” Jacob answered, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:9 - But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:10 - Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand. For I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:12 - Then Esau said, “Let us journey on our way, and I will go ahead of[fn] you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:13 - But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the nursing flocks and herds are a care to me. If they are driven hard for one day, all the flocks will die.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:15 - So Esau said, “Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:11 - Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:10 - And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:11 - And God said to him, “I am God Almighty:[fn] be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:6 - He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:10 - But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:14 - So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:16 - “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - And the man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.'” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:21 - But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - and returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone, and I, where shall I go?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:33 - And he identified it and said, “It is my son's robe. A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - He turned to her at the roadside and said, “Come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:17 - He answered, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And she said, “If you give me a pledge, until you send it—”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, “Your signet and your cord and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:22 - So he returned to Judah and said, “I have not found her. Also, the men of the place said, ‘No cult prostitute has been here.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:23 - And Judah replied, “Let her keep the things as her own, or we shall be laughed at. You see, I sent this young goat, and you did not find her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has been immoral.[fn] Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”[fn] And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:26 - Then Judah identified them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called Perez.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:7 - And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:14 - she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:8 - They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:12 - Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:16 - When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - And Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:25 - Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:55 - When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. “Where do you come from?” he said. They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:9 - And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamed of them. And he said to them, “You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:12 - He said to them, “No, it is the nakedness of the land that you have come to see.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:14 - But Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you. You are spies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:18 - On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - And Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? But you did not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:24 - Then he turned away from them and wept. And he returned to them and spoke to them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!” At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:36 - And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin. All this has come against me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:2 - And when they had eaten the grain that they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:3 - But Judah said to him, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:5 - But if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:6 - Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - And Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry a present down to the man, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and make ready, for the men are to dine with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:17 - The man did as Joseph told him and brought the men to Joseph's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:27 - And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:28 - They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:31 - Then he washed his face and came out. And controlling himself he said, “Serve the food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain.” And he did as Joseph told him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:6 - When he overtook them, he spoke to them these words.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:10 - He said, “Let it be as you say: he who is found with it shall be my servant, and the rest of you shall be innocent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:15 - Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - And Judah said, “What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:17 - But he said, “Far be it from me that I should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:18 - Then Judah went up to him and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
