Genesis

1 Now when Jacōb saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacōb said to his sons, “Why do you look one on another?”

1 Ἰδὼν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ὅτι ἔστιν πρᾶσις ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Ἵνα τί ῥᾳθυμεῖτε;	1 Ἰδὼν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ὅτι ἐστὶ πρᾶσις ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, εἶπε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἱνατί ῥαθυμεῖτε;
1 Now when he saw that there was a sale in Aigypt, Jacōb said to his sons, “Why are you idle?	1 Now when he saw that there was a sale in Aigypt, Jacōb said to his sons, “Why are you idle?

2 And he said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: get down to that place, and buy for us from there; that we may live, and not die.”

2 ἰδοὺ ἀκήκοα ὅτι ἔστιν σῖτος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ· κατάβητε ἐκεῖ καὶ πρίασθε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα, ἵνα ζῶμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν.	2 ἰδοὺ ἀκήκοα ὅτι ἐστὶ σῖτος ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ· κατάβητε ἐκεῖ καὶ πρίασθε ἡμῖν μικρὰ βρώματα, ἵνα ζήσωμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν.
2 Look! I have heard that there is grain in Aigypt; go down there, and purchase a few food for us in order that we may live and not die.”	2 Look! I have heard that there is grain in Aigypt; go down there, and purchase a few food for us in order that we may live and not die.”

3 And Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

3 κατέβησαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ οἱ δέκα πρίασθαι σῖτον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου·	3 κατέβησαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ οἱ δέκα πρίασθαι σῖτον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου·
3 And the ten brothers of Jōsēph went down to purchase grain from Aigypt.	3 And the ten brothers of Jōsēph went down to purchase grain from Aigypt.

4 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacōb sent not with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps mischief befall him.”

4 τὸν δὲ Βενιαμὶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰωσὴφ οὐκ ἀπέστειλεν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ· εἶπεν γάρ, Μήποτε συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία.	4 τὸν δὲ Βενιαμὶν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἰωσὴφ οὐκ ἀπέστειλε μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, εἶπε γάρ· μή ποτε συμβῇ αὐτῷ μαλακία.
4 But he didn’t send Jōsēph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest perhaps sickness befall him.”	4 But he didn’t send Jōsēph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest perhaps sickness befall him.”

5 And the sons of Israēl came to buy grain among those who came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

5 Ἦλθον δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀγοράζειν μετὰ τῶν ἐρχομένων· ἦν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χαναάν.	5 Ἦλθον δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀγοράζειν μετὰ τῶν ἐρχομένων· ἦν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χαναάν.
5 And the sons of Israēl went to buy with those who were coming, for the famine was in Chanaan-land.	5 And the sons of Israēl went to buy with those who were coming, for the famine was in Chanaan-land.

6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was who sold to all the people of the land; and Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.

6 Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ἦν ἄρχων τῆς γῆς, οὗτος ἐπώλει παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς· ἐλθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσήφ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.	6 Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ἦν ὁ ἄρχων τῆς γῆς, οὗτος ἐπώλει παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς· ἐλθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ Ἰωσὴφ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
6 Now Jōsēph was ruler of the land; this one was selling to all the people of the land. And when Jōsēph’s brothers came, they did obeisance to him with face on the ground.	6 Now Jōsēph was ruler of the land; this one was selling to all the people of the land. And when Jōsēph’s brothers came, they did obeisance to him with face on the ground.

7 And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them; and he said to them, “From where do you come?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”

7

7 ἰδὼν δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπέγνω καὶ ἠλλοτριοῦτο ἀπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς σκληρὰ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Πόθεν ἥκατε; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, Ἐκ γῆς Χαναὰν ἀγοράσαι βρώματα.	7 ἰδὼν δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τούς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπέγνω καὶ ἠλλοτριοῦτο ἀπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς σκληρὰ καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς· πόθεν ἥκατε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· ἐκ γῆς Χαναὰν ἀγοράσαι βρώματα.
7 And when Jōsēph saw his brothers, he recognized them, and he was disguising himself from them and spoke harshly to them and said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From the Chanaan-land to buy food.”	7 And when Jōsēph saw his brothers, he recognized them, and he was disguising himself from them and spoke harshly to them and said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From Chanaan-land to buy food.”

8 And Joseph knew his brothers, but they didn’t know him.

8 ἐπέγνω δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν.	8 ἐπέγνω δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν.
8 Now Jōsēph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.	8 Now Jōsēph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.

9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said to them, “You are spies; to see the nakedness of the land are you come.”

9 καὶ ἐμνήσθη Ἰωσὴφ τῶν ἐνυπνίων, ὧν εἶδεν αὐτός, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Κατάσκοποί ἐστε· κατανοῆσαι τὰ ἴχνη τῆς χώρας ἥκατε.	9 καὶ ἐμνήσθη Ἰωσὴφ τῶν ἐνυπνίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν εἶδεν αὐτός, καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς· κατάσκοποί ἐστε, κατανοῆσαι τὰ ἴχνη τῆς χώρας ἥκατε.
9 And Jōsēph remembered the dreams that he himself had seen, and he said to them, “You are spies; you have come to inspect the tracks of the country!”	9 And Jōsēph remembered the dreams that he himself had seen, and he said to them, “You are spies; you have come to inspect the tracks of the country!”

10 And they said to him, “No, my lord, but to buy food are your servants come.

10 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, Οὐχί, κύριε· οἱ παῖδές σου ἤλθομεν πρίασθαι βρώματα·	10 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· οὐχί, κύριε, οἱ παῖδές σου ἤλθομεν πρίασθαι βρώματα·
10 But they said, “No, sir, your servants came to purchase food.	10 But they said, “No, sir, your servants came to purchase food.

11 We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, your servants are no spies.”

11 πάντες ἐσμὲν υἱοὶ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου· εἰρηνικοί ἐσμεν, οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ παῖδές σου κατάσκοποι.	11 πάντες ἐσμὲν υἱοὶ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου· εἰρηνικοί ἔσμεν, οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ παῖδές σου κατάσκοποι.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are peaceable; your servants are not spies.”	11 We are all sons of one man. We are peaceable; your servants are not spies.”

12 And he said to them, “No, but to see the nakedness of the land you are come.”

12 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ τὰ ἴχνη τῆς γῆς ἤλθατε ἰδεῖν.	12 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· οὐχί, ἀλλὰ τὰ ἴχνη τῆς γῆς ἤλθετε ἰδεῖν.
12 But he said to them, “No, but you came to see the tracks of the land!”	12 But he said to them, “No, but you came to see the tracks of the land!”

13 And they said, “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 not.”

13 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, Δώδεκά ἐσμεν οἱ παῖδές σου ἀδελφοὶ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ νεώτερος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος οὐχ ὑπάρχει.	13 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· δώδεκά ἔσμεν οἱ παῖδες σου ἀδελφοὶ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ νεώτερος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος οὐχ ὑπάρχει.
13 Then they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers in Chanaan-land, and see, the younger is with our father today, and the other doesn’t exist.”	13 Then they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers in Chanaan-land, and see, the younger is with our father today, and the other doesn’t exist.”

14 And Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you, saying, “You are spies!”

14 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ, Τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὃ εἴρηκα ὑμῖν λέγων ὅτι, Κατάσκοποί ἐστε·	14 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ· τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃν εἴρηκα ὑμῖν λέγων, ὅτι κατάσκοποί ἐστε·
14 But Jōsēph said to them, “This is what I have said to you, saying, ‛You are spies!’	14 But Jōsēph said to them, “This is what I have said to you, saying, ‛You are spies!’

15 Hereby you shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh you shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come here.

15 ἐν τούτῳ φανεῖσθε· νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραώ, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθητε ἐντεῦθεν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος ἔλθῃ ὧδε.	15 ἐν τούτῳ φανεῖσθε· νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραώ, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθητε ἐντεῦθεν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν ὁ νεώτερος ἔλθῃ ὧδε.
15 In this you will reveal yourselves: by the health of Pharaō, you shall never depart from this place unless your younger brother comes here.	15 In this you will reveal yourselves: by the health of Pharaō, you shall never depart from this place unless your younger brother comes here.

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”

16 ἀποστείλατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕνα καὶ λάβετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀπάχθητε ἕως τοῦ φανερὰ γενέσθαι τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν, εἰ ἀληθεύετε ἢ οὔ εἰ δὲ μή, νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραώ, ἦ μὴν κατάσκοποί ἐστε.	16 ἀποστείλατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕνα καὶ λάβετε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἀπάχθητε ἕως τοῦ φανερὰ γενέσθαι τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν, εἰ ἀληθεύετε ἢ οὔ· εἰ δὲ μή, νὴ τὴν ὑγίειαν Φαραώ, ἦ μὴν κατάσκοποί ἐστε.
16 Send one of you, and get your brother; but as for you, may you be led away until your words become verified, whether you are telling the truth or not; otherwise, by the health of Pharaō, certainly you are spies.”	16 Send one of you, and get your brother; but as for you, may you be led away until your words become verified, whether you are telling the truth or not; otherwise, by the health of Pharaō, certainly you are spies.”

17 And he put them altogether into ward three days.

17 καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.	17 καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.
17 And he put them in prison for three days.	17 And he put them in prison for three days.

18 And Joseph said to them the third day, “This do, and live; for I fear God.

18 Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, Τοῦτο ποιήσατε καὶ ζήσεσθε τὸν θεὸν γὰρ ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι·	18 Εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ· τοῦτο ποιήσατε καὶ ζήσεσθε, τὸν Θεὸν γὰρ ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι·
18 And on the third day, he said to them “This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.	18 And on the third day, he said to them “This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.

19 If you are true men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your prison: go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.

19 εἰ εἰρηνικοί ἐστε, ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν εἷς κατασχεθήτω ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, αὐτοὶ δὲ βαδίσατε καὶ ἀπαγάγετε τὸν ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας ὑμῶν	19 εἰ εἰρηνικοί ἐστε, ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν κατασχεθήτω εἷς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, αὐτοὶ δὲ βαδίσατε καὶ ἀπαγάγετε τὸν ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας ὑμῶν,
19 If you are peaceable, let one brother of you be confined in the prison, but you yourselves go, and take away the purchase of your grain allowance,	19 If you are peaceable, let one brother of you be confined in the prison, but you yourselves go, and take away the purchase of your grain allowance,

20 But bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so.

20 καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον ἀγάγετε πρός με, καὶ πιστευθήσονται τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν· εἰ δὲ μή, ἀποθανεῖσθε. ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως.	20 καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον ἀγάγετε πρός με, καὶ πιστευθήσονται τὰ ῥήματα ὑμῶν· εἰ δὲ μή, ἀποθανεῖσθε. ἐποίησαν δὲ οὕτως.
20 and bring your younger brother to me, and your words will be believed; otherwise, you shall die.” And they did so.	20 and bring your younger brother to me, and your words will be believed; otherwise, you shall die.” And they did so.

21 And they said to one another, “We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come on us.”

21 καὶ εἶπεν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ Ναί· ἐν ἁμαρτίᾳ γάρ ἐσμεν περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν, ὅτι ὑπερείδομεν τὴν θλῖψιν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτε κατεδέετο ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν αὐτοῦ· ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐπῆλθεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἡ θλῖψις αὕτη.	21 καὶ εἶπε ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ· ναί, ἐν ἁμαρτίαις γάρ ἔσμεν περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ἡμῶν, ὅτι ὑπερείδομεν τὴν θλῖψιν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτε κατεδέετο ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσαμεν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐπῆλθεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἡ θλῖψις αὕτη.
21 And each one said to his brother, “Indeed, for we are at fault concerning our brother, because we disregarded the affliction of his soul, when he pleaded with us, and we didn’t listen to him. This is why this affliction has come on us.”	21 And each one said to his brother, “Indeed, for we are at fault concerning our brother, because we disregarded the affliction of his soul, when he pleaded with us, and we didn’t listen to him. This is why this affliction has come on us.”

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the child’; and you would not hear? Therefore, behold, also his blood is required.”

22 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ῥουβὴν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Οὐκ ἐλάλησα ὑμῖν λέγων, Μὴ ἀδικήσητε τὸ παιδάριον; καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατέ μου· καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκζητεῖται.	22 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ῥουβὴν εἶπε αὐτοῖς· οὐκ ἐλάλησα ὑμῖν λέγων, μὴ ἀδικήσητε τὸ παιδάριον; καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου; καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκζητεῖται.
22 When Rhoubēn answered, he said to them, “Didn’t I speak to you, saying, ‛Don’t injure the youngster?’ And you didn’t listen to me. And look! his blood is being sought out.”	22 When Rhoubēn answered, he said to them, “Didn’t I speak to you, saying, ‛Don’t injure the youngster?’ And you didn’t listen to me. And look! his blood is being sought out.”

23 And they didn’t know that Jōsēph understood them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter.

23 αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν ὅτι ἀκούει Ἰωσήφ· ὁ γὰρ ἑρμηνευτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν ἦν.	23 αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν ὅτι ἀκούει Ἰωσήφ· ὁ γὰρ ἑρμηνευτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν ἦν.
23 Now they didn’t know that Jōsēph had understood, for the translator was between them.	23 Now they didn’t know that Jōsēph had understood, for the translator was between them.

24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

24 ἀποστραφεὶς δὲ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἔκλαυσεν Ἰωσήφ. – καὶ πάλιν προσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν Συμεὼν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.	24 ἀποστραφεὶς δὲ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἔκλαυσεν Ἰωσήφ. καὶ πάλιν προσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν Συμεὼν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
24 And after he turned away from them, Jōsēph wept. And again he came to them and spoke to them, and he took Symeōn from them and bound him before them.	24 And after he turned away from them, Jōsēph wept. And again he came to them and spoke to them, and he took Symeōn from them and bound him before them.

25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with grain, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus did he to them.

25 ἐνετείλατο δὲ Ἰωσὴφ ἐμπλῆσαι τὰ ἀγγεῖα αὐτῶν σίτου καὶ ἀποδοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἑκάστου εἰς τὸν σάκκον αὐτοῦ καὶ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἐπισιτισμὸν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν. καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς οὕτως.	25 ἐνετείλατο δὲ Ἰωσήφ ἐμπλῆσαι τὰ ἀγγεῖα αὐτῶν σίτου καὶ ἀποδοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν ἑκάστῳ εἰς τὸν σάκκον αὐτοῦ καὶ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἐπισιτισμὸν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν. καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς οὕτως.
25 Then Jōsēph commanded that they fill their containers with grain and to return the money to each one in his sack and to give them a stock of food for the way. And thus it happened to them.	25 Then Jōsēph commanded that they fill their containers with grain and to return the money to each one in his sack and to give them a stock of food for the way. And thus it happened to them.

26 And they loaded their donkeys with the grain, and departed from there.

26 καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὸν σῖτον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον ἐκεῖθεν.	26 καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὸν σῖτον ἐπὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον ἐκεῖθεν.
26 And after they put the grain on their donkeys, they departed from there.	26 And after they put the grain on their donkeys, they departed from there.

27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey provender in the inn, he spied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.

27 λύσας δὲ εἷς τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ δοῦναι χορτάσματα τοῖς ὄνοις αὐτοῦ, οὗ κατέλυσαν, εἶδεν τὸν δεσμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦν ἐπάνω τοῦ στόματος τοῦ μαρσίππου·	27 λύσας δὲ εἷς τὸν μάρσιππον αὐτοῦ δοῦναι χορτάσματα τοῖς ὄνοις αὐτοῦ, οὗ κατέλυσαν, καὶ εἶδε τὸν δεσμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦν ἐπάνω τοῦ στόματος τοῦ μαρσίππου·
27 Now when one brother loosened his bag to give the donkeys fodder where they had lodged, he saw his bundle of money, and it was at the mouth of the bag.	27 Now when one brother loosened his bag to give the donkeys fodder where they had lodged, he saw his bundle of money, and it was at the mouth of the bag.

28 And he said to his brothers, “My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack”; and their hearts failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, “What is this that God has done to us?”

28 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ, Ἀπεδόθη μοι τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τοῦτο ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ μου. καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐταράχθησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες, Τί τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς ἡμῖν;	28 καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἐπεδόθη μοι τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τοῦτο ἐν τῷ μαρσίππῳ μου, καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐταράχθησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους λέγοντες· τί τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῖν;
28 And he said to his brothers, “The money has been returned to me, and, look, this is in my bag!” And their heart was startled, and to one another saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”	28 And he said to his brothers, “The money has been returned to me, and, look, this is in my bag!” And their heart was startled, and to one another saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”

29 And they came to Jacōb their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell to them; saying,

29 Ἦλθον δὲ πρὸς Ἰακὼβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν Χαναὰν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ συμβάντα αὐτοῖς λέγοντες,	29 Ἦλθον δὲ πρὸς Ἰακὼβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν Χαναὰν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ συμβάντα αὐτοῖς, λέγοντες·
29 And they came to their father Jacōb in Chanaan-land, and they told him all that had occured to them, saying,	29 And they came to their father Jacōb in Chanaan-land, and they told him all that had occured to them, saying,

30 “The man, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

30 Λελάληκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς πρὸς ἡμᾶς σκληρὰ καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ ὡς κατασκοπεύοντας τὴν γῆν.	30 λελάληκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς πρὸς ἡμᾶς σκληρὰ καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ ὡς κατασκοπεύοντας τὴν γῆν.
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.	30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.

31 And we said to him, ‘We are true men; we are no spies.

31 εἴπαμεν δὲ αὐτῷ, Εἰρηνικοί ἐσμεν, οὔκ ἐσμεν κατάσκοποι·	31 εἴπαμεν δὲ αὐτῷ· εἰρηνικοί ἔσμέν, οὐκ ἐσμὲν κατάσκοποι·
31 But we said to him, “We are peaceable, we are not spies.	31 But we said to him, “We are peaceable, we are not spies.

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.’

32 δώδεκα ἀδελφοί ἐσμεν, υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν· ὁ εἷς οὐχ ὑπάρχει, ὁ δὲ μικρότερος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον ἐν γῇ Χαναάν.	32 δώδεκα ἀδελφοί ἔσμεν, υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν· ὁ εἷς οὐχ ὑπάρχει, ὁ δὲ μικρὸς μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σήμερον ἐν γῇ Χαναάν.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one doesn’t exist, and the smaller one is with our father today in Chanaan-land.	32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one doesn’t exist, and the smaller one is with our father today in Chanaan-land.

33 And the man, the lord of the country, said to us, ‘Hereby shall I know that you are true men; leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.

33 εἶπεν δὲ ἡμῖν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς, Ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε· ἀδελφὸν ἕνα ἄφετε ὧδε μετ’ ἐμοῦ, τὸν δὲ ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας τοῦ οἴκου ὑμῶν λαβόντες ἀπέλθατε	33 εἶπε δὲ ἡμῖν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ κύριος τῆς γῆς· ἐν τούτῳ γνώσομαι ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε· ἀδελφὸν ἕνα ἄφετε ὧδε μετ’ ἐμοῦ, τὸν δὲ ἀγορασμὸν τῆς σιτοδοσίας τοῦ οἴκου ὑμῶν λαβόντες ἀπέλθατε.
33 Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‛By this I shall know that you are peaceable: leave one brother here with me, and go off, taking the purchase of your household’s grain allowance,	33 Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‛By this I shall know that you are peaceable: leave one brother here with me, and go off, taking the purchase of your household’s grain allowance,

34 And bring your youngest brother to me: then shall I know that you are no spies, but that you are true men; so will I deliver you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.’ ”

34 καὶ ἀγάγετε πρός με τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον, καὶ γνώσομαι ὅτι οὐ κατάσκοποί ἐστε, ἀλλ’ ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε, καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν ἀποδώσω ὑμῖν, καὶ τῇ γῇ ἐμπορεύεσθε.	34 καὶ ἀγάγετε πρός με τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν τὸν νεώτερον, καὶ γνώσομαι ὅτι οὐ κατάσκοποί ἐστε, ἀλλ’ ὅτι εἰρηνικοί ἐστε, καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὑμῶν ἀποδώσω ὑμῖν, καὶ τῇ γῇ ἐμπορεύσεσθε.
