42 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage Biblia Hebraica

26 (25b) All this was done; (26) and they loaded the corn on to their asses and went away. Joseph's brothers return home. Gn.42.26-38וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־שִׁבְרָם עַל־חֲמֹרֵיהֶם וַיֵּלְכוּ מִשָּׁם׃
27When they stopped for the night, one of them opened his sack to give fodder to his ass, and there he saw his silver at the top of the pack.  וַיִּפְתַּח הָאֶחָד אֶת־שַׂקֹּו לָתֵת מִסְפֹּוא לַחֲמֹרֹו בַּמָּלֹון וַיַּרְא אֶת־כַּסְפֹּו וְהִנֵּה־הוּא בְּפִי אַמְתַּחְתֹּו׃
28He said to his brothers, 'My silver has been returned to me, and here it is in my pack.' Bewildered and trembling, they said to each other, 'What is this that God has done to us?'  וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֶחָיו הוּשַׁב כַּסְפִּי וְגַם הִנֵּה בְאַמְתַּחְתִּי וַיֵּצֵא לִבָּם וַיֶּחֶרְדוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו לֵאמֹר מַה־זֹּאת עָשָׂה אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ׃
29When they came to their father Jacob in Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them. They said,  וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־יַעֲקֹב אֲבִיהֶם אַרְצָה כְּנָעַן וַיַּגִּידוּ לֹו אֵת כָּל־הַקֹּרֹת אֹתָם לֵאמֹר׃
30'The man who is lord of the country spoke harshly to us and made out that we were spies.  דִּבֶּר הָאִישׁ אֲדֹנֵי הָאָרֶץ אִתָּנוּ קָשֹׁות וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָנוּ כִּמְרַגְּלִים אֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃
31We said to him, "We are honest men, we are not spies.  וַנֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֵּנִים אֲנָחְנוּ לֹא הָיִינוּ מְרַגְּלִים׃
32There are twelve of us, all brothers, sons of one father. One has disappeared, and the youngest is with our father in Canaan."  שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂר אֲנַחְנוּ אַחִים בְּנֵי אָבִינוּ הָאֶחָד אֵינֶנּוּ וְהַקָּטֹן הַיֹּום אֶת־אָבִינוּ בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן׃
33This man, the lord of the country, said to us, "This is how I shall find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, take food for your hungry households and go.  וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֵינוּ הָאִישׁ אֲדֹנֵי הָאָרֶץ בְּזֹאת אֵדַע כִּי כֵנִים אַתֶּם אֲחִיכֶם הָאֶחָד הַנִּיחוּ אִתִּי וְאֶת־רַעֲבֹון בָּתֵּיכֶם קְחוּ וָלֵכוּ׃
34Bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that you are not spies, but honest men. Then I will restore your brother to you, and you can move about the country freely." '  וְהָבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם הַקָּטֹן אֵלַי וְאֵדְעָה כִּי לֹא מְרַגְּלִים אַתֶּם כִּי כֵנִים אַתֶּם אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם אֶתֵּן לָכֶם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ תִּסְחָרוּ׃
35But on emptying their sacks, each of them found his silver inside, and when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid.  וַיְהִי הֵם מְרִיקִים שַׂקֵּיהֶם וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ צְרֹור־כַּסְפֹּו בְּשַׂקֹּו וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת־צְרֹרֹות כַּסְפֵּיהֶם הֵמָּה וַאֲבִיהֶם וַיִּירָאוּ׃
36Their father Jacob said to them, 'You have robbed me of my children. Joseph has disappeared; Simeon has disappeared; and now you are taking Benjamin. Everything is against me.'  וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יַעֲקֹב אֲבִיהֶם אֹתִי שִׁכַּלְתֶּם יֹוסֵף אֵינֶנּוּ וְשִׁמְעֹון אֵינֶנּוּ וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִן תִּקָּחוּ עָלַי הָיוּ כֻלָּנָה׃
37Reuben said to his father, 'You may kill both my sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my charge, and I shall bring him back.'  וַיֹּאמֶר רְאוּבֵן אֶל־אָבִיו לֵאמֹר אֶת־שְׁנֵי בָנַי תָּמִית אִם־לֹא אֲבִיאֶנּוּ אֵלֶיךָ תְּנָה אֹתֹו עַל־יָדִי וַאֲנִי אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ אֵלֶיךָ׃
38But Jacob said, 'My son shall not go with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If he comes to any harm on the journey, you will bring down my grey hairs in sorrow to the grave.' וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא־יֵרֵד בְּנִי עִםָּכֶם כִּי־אָחִיו מֵת וְהוּא לְבַדֹּו נִשְׁאָר וּקְרָאָהוּ אָסֹון בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר תֵּלְכוּ־בָהּ וְהֹורַדְתֶּם אֶת־שֵׂיבָתִי בְּיָגֹון שְׁאֹולָה׃
