| 42 1 | When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?" | Joseph's brothers come to buy corn. Gn.42.1-24 | וַיַּרְא יַעֲקֹב כִּי יֶשׁ־שֶׁבֶר בְּמִצְרָיִם וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב לְבָנָיו לָמָּה תִּתְרָאוּ׃ |
|
| 2 | And he said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live, and not die." | | וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה שָׁמַעְתִּי כִּי יֶשׁ־שֶׁבֶר בְּמִצְרָיִם רְדוּ־שָׁמָּה וְשִׁבְרוּ־לָנוּ מִשָּׁם וְנִחְיֶה וְלֹא נָמוּת׃ |
|
| 3 | So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt. | | וַיֵּרְדוּ אֲחֵי־יֹוסֵף עֲשָׂרָה לִשְׁבֹּר בָּר מִמִּצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 4 | But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might befall him. | | וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִין אֲחִי יֹוסֵף לֹא־שָׁלַח יַעֲקֹב אֶת־אֶחָיו כִּי אָמַר פֶּן־יִקְרָאֶנּוּ אָסֹון׃ |
|
| 5 | Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. | | וַיָּבֹאוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִשְׁבֹּר בְּתֹוךְ הַבָּאִים כִּי־הָיָה הָרָעָב בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן׃ |
|
| 6 | Now Joseph was governor over the land; he it was who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground. | | וְיֹוסֵף הוּא הַשַּׁלִּיט עַל־הָאָרֶץ הוּא הַמַּשְׁבִּיר לְכָל־עַם הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֲחֵי יֹוסֵף וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לֹו אַפַּיִם אָרְצָה׃ |
|
| 7 | Joseph saw his brothers, and knew 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." | | וַיַּרְא יֹוסֵף אֶת־אֶחָיו וַיַּכִּרֵם וַיִּתְנַכֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם וַיְדַבֵּר אִתָּם קָשֹׁות וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם מֵאַיִן בָּאתֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֵאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן לִשְׁבָּר־אֹכֶל׃ |
|
| 8 | Thus Joseph knew his brothers, but they did not know him. | | וַיַּכֵּר יֹוסֵף אֶת־אֶחָיו וְהֵם לֹא הִכִּרֻהוּ׃ |
|
| 9 | And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed of them; and he said to them, "You are spies, you have come to see the weakness of the land." | | וַיִּזְכֹּר יֹוסֵף אֵת הַחֲלֹמֹות אֲשֶׁר חָלַם לָהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם מְרַגְּלִים אַתֶּם לִרְאֹות אֶת־עֶרְוַת הָאָרֶץ בָּאתֶם׃ |
|
| 10 | They said to him, "No, my lord, but to buy food have your servants come. | | וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו לֹא אֲדֹנִי וַעֲבָדֶיךָ בָּאוּ לִשְׁבָּר־אֹכֶל׃ |
|
| 11 | We are all sons of one man, we are honest men, your servants are not spies." | | כֻּלָּנוּ בְּנֵי אִישׁ־אֶחָד נָחְנוּ כֵּנִים אֲנַחְנוּ לֹא־הָיוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ מְרַגְּלִים׃ |
|
| 12 | He said to them, "No, it is the weakness of the land that you have come to see." | | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם לֹא כִּי־עֶרְוַת הָאָרֶץ בָּאתֶם לִרְאֹות׃ |
|
| 13 | And they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more." | | וַיֹּאמְרוּ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר עֲבָדֶיךָ אַחִים אֲנַחְנוּ בְּנֵי אִישׁ־אֶחָד בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן וְהִנֵּה הַקָּטֹן אֶת־אָבִינוּ הַיֹּום וְהָאֶחָד אֵינֶנּוּ׃ |
|
| 14 | But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, you are spies. | | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יֹוסֵף הוּא אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵכֶם לֵאמֹר מְרַגְּלִים אַתֶּם׃ |
|
| 15 | By this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here. | | בְּזֹאת תִּבָּחֵנוּ חֵי פַרְעֹה אִם־תֵּצְאוּ מִזֶּה כִּי אִם־בְּבֹוא אֲחִיכֶם הַקָּטֹן הֵנָּה׃ |
|
| 16 | Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies." | | שִׁלְחוּ םִכֶּם אֶחָד וְיִקַּח אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם וְאַתֶּם הֵאָסְרוּ וְיִבָּחֲנוּ דִּבְרֵיכֶם הַאֱמֶת אִתְּכֶם וְאִם־לֹא חֵי פַרְעֹה כִּי מְרַגְּלִים אַתֶּם׃ |
|
| 17 | And he put them all together in prison for three days. | | וַיֶּאֱסֹף אֹתָם אֶל־מִשְׁמָר שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים׃ |
|
| 18 | On the third day Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God: | | וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יֹוסֵף בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁלִישִׁי זֹאת עֲשׂוּ וִחְיוּ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲנִי יָרֵא׃ |
|
| 19 | if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households, | | אִם־כֵּנִים אַתֶּם אֲחִיכֶם אֶחָד יֵאָסֵר בְּבֵית מִשְׁמַרְכֶם וְאַתֶּם לְכוּ הָבִיאוּ שֶׁבֶר רַעֲבֹון בָּתֵּיכֶם׃ |
|
| 20 | and bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die." And they did so. | | וְאֶת־אֲחִיכֶם הַקָּטֹן תָּבִיאוּ אֵלַי וְיֵאָמְנוּ דִבְרֵיכֶם וְלֹא תָמוּתוּ וַיַּעֲשׂוּ־כֵן׃ |
|
| 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 besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us." | | וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו אֲבָל אֲשֵׁמִים אֲנַחְנוּ עַל־אָחִינוּ אֲשֶׁר רָאִינוּ צָרַת נַפְשֹׁו בְּהִתְחַנְנֹו אֵלֵינוּ וְלֹא שָׁמָעְנוּ עַל־כֵּן בָּאָה אֵלֵינוּ הַצָּרָה הַזֹּאת׃ |
|
| 22 | And Reuben answered them, "Did I not tell you not to sin against the lad? But you would not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood." | | וַיַּעַן רְאוּבֵן אֹתָם לֵאמֹר הֲלֹוא אָמַרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם לֵאמֹר אַל־תֶּחֶטְאוּ בַיֶּלֶד וְלֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם וְגַם־דָּמֹו הִנֵּה נִדְרָשׁ׃ |
|
| 23 | They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them. | | וְהֵם לֹא יָדְעוּ כִּי שֹׁמֵעַ יֹוסֵף כִּי הַמֵּלִיץ בֵּינֹתָם׃ |
|
| 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. | | וַיִּסֹּב מֵעֲלֵיהֶם וַיֵּבְךְּ וַיָּשָׁב אֲלֵהֶם וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵהֶם וַיִּקַּח מֵאִתָּם אֶת־שִׁמְעֹון וַיֶּאֱסֹר אֹתֹו לְעֵינֵיהֶם׃ |
