¹⁵ And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph;

¹⁶ and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who [is] over his house, `Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat at noon.'

¹⁷ And the man doth as Joseph hath said, and the man bringeth in the men into the house of Joseph,

¹⁸ and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, `For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in -- to roll himself upon us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants -- our asses also.'

¹⁹ And they come nigh unto the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house,

²⁰ and say, `O, my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;

²¹ and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;

²² and other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.'

²³ And he saith, `Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto them.

²⁴ And the man bringeth in the men into Joseph's house, and giveth water, and they wash their feet; and he giveth provender for their asses,

²⁵ and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they do eat bread.

²⁶ And Joseph cometh into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth;

²⁷ and he asketh of them of peace, and saith, `Is your father well? the aged man of whom ye have spoken, is he yet alive?'

²⁸ and they say, `Thy servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive;' and they bow, and do obeisance.

²⁹ And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and saith, `Is this your young brother, of whom ye have spoken unto me?' and he saith, `God favour thee, my son.'

³⁰ And Joseph hasteth, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeketh to weep, and entereth the inner chamber, and weepeth there;

³¹ and he washeth his face, and goeth out, and refraineth himself, and saith, `Place bread.'

³² And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.

³³ And they sit before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;

³⁴ and he lifteth up gifts from before him unto them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, yea, they drink abundantly with him.
