Genesis

And it came to pass, when they completed eating up the grain which they brought from Aigyptos, that their father said to them: "In going again, you buy us a small [amount] of foods."

And Ioudas said to him, saying: "The human, the lord of the land, bore witness by testifying to us, saying: 'You shall not see my face if your younger brother should not come with you.'

If then, you send our brother with us, we will go down, and we will buy foods for you.

But if you do not send our brother with us, we will not go, for the human said to us, saying: 'You shall not see my face if your younger brother should not be with you.' "

And Israél said: "Why did you do evil [to] me [by] announcing to the human that there is to you a brother?"

And they said: "In asking, the human asked of us and our family, saying if our father still lives, and if there is to us a brother? And we reported to him according to his questioning. We did not know that he would say to us: 'Bring your brother!' "

And Ioudas said towards his father Israél: "Send the boy with me. And rising up, let us go, that we may live and not die, namely we and you, and our belongings.

And I will wait for him. You demand him [back] from out of my hand. If I do not lead him towards you, and place him before you, I will be sinning into you all the days.

For if we had not delayed, we should have returned already even twice."

And their father Israél said to them: "If it is so, you do this: Take from the fruits of the earth in your containers, and bring down to the human gifts of balm, and honey, and incense, and balsam, and turpentine, and walnuts.

And take double silver in your hands. And the silver being returned in your bags, return it with you, perhaps it is by mistake.

And take your brother. And rising, go down towards the human.

And [may] my God give you favor before the human, and send off your other brother, the [held] one, and Beniamin, for I as much as I indeed have been made childless, I have been made childless."

And the men receiving these gifts, and the double silver they took in their hands, and Beniamin. And rising up, they went down to Aigyptos, and stood before Ioseph.

And Ioseph saw them, and his brother Beniamin, the one born of the same mother. And he said to the [steward] over of his house [-hold]: "Bring the men into the house, and slay that which is offered in sacrifices, and make [this] ready, for the men will eat bread loaves with me at noon."

And the human did as Ioseph said. And he brought the men into the house of Ioseph.

And the men seeing that they were brought into the house of Ioseph, said: "On account of the silver returned in our bags at first, we are brought in, to accuse us falsely and to place [charge] upon us, to take us as servants, and our donkeys."

And coming forward towards the human, the [steward] over the house [-hold] of Ioseph, they spoke to him in the vestibule of the house,

saying: "We beseech [you], lord. We went down at first to buy foods.

And it came to pass when we came to rest up, and we opened our bags, that thus the silver [was] in each of his bag. We returned now our silver in [the] weight in our hands.

And we brought other silver with ourselves to buy foods. We do not know who put the silver into our bags."

And he said to them: "Propitious [it will be] to you. Do not fear. Your Theos, and the Theos of your fathers, gave to you treasures in your bags. And in approving, I keep away from your silver." And he let Symeon out to them.

And he brought water to wash their feet. And he gave fodder [to] their donkeys.

And they prepared the gifts until Ioseph came at noon, for they heard that he was about to dine there.

And Ioseph entered into the house. And they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands into the house. And they did obeisance to him upon [their] face upon the ground.

And he asked them: "How have you [been]?" And he said to them: "Is your father, the old man of whom you spoke, healthy? Does he still live?"

And they said: "He is in health. Your servant, our father, still lives." And he said: "Blessed be that human by the Theos." And bowing, they did obeisance to him.

And looking up with his eyes, he saw his brother Beniamin, the one born of the same mother. And he said: "[Is] this your younger brother, whom you spoke of bringing to me?" And he said: "[May] the Theos show mercy to you, child."

And Ioseph was troubled, for his innards twisted together over his brother. And he was seeking to weep. And he entered into the storeroom to wept there.

And he washed [his] face. And coming forth, he controlled himself, and said: "Place [the] bread loaves."

And they placed [this] to him alone, and to them by themselves, and to the Aigyptiois dining with them by themselves, for the Aigyptiois [were] not able to eat bread loaves with the Ebraion, for it is an abomination to the Aigyptiois.

And he seated before himself the first-born, according to his seniority, and the younger, according to his youthfulness. And the humans each were looking amazed at his brother.

And they took up [the] portions from him to them. But the portion of Beniamin was magnified over the portions of all: five-fold towards those [others]. And they drank and became intoxicated with him.
