And when Joseph saw his brothers, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now though Joseph saw that these were his brothers, they had no idea who he was.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the memory of his dreams about them came back to Joseph, and he said to them, You have come secretly to see how poor the land is.

אֵ֚ת 'et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Send one of your number to get your brother, and the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are true; if not, by the life of Pharaoh, your purpose is certainly secret.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So he put them in prison for three days.

אֹתָ֛ם (אֹתָ֛) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And on the third day Joseph said to them, Do this, if you would keep your lives: for I am a god-fearing man:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.

אֹתָ֜ם (אֹתָ֜) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

And turning away from them, he was overcome with weeping; then he went on talking to them again and took Simeon and put chains on him before their eyes.

Then Joseph gave orders for their bags to be made full of grain, and for every man's money to be put back into his bag, and for food to be given them for the journey: which was done.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then they put the bags of grain on their asses and went away.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now at their night's resting-place one of them, opening his bag to give his ass some food, saw his money in the mouth of the bag.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So when they came to Jacob their father, in the land of Canaan, they gave him an account of all their experiences, saying,

אֵ֛ת 'et “<obj.>”אֹתָ֖ם (אֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

The man who is the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

אֹתָ֔נוּ (אֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta. “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the ruler of the land said, In this way I may be certain that you are true men; let one of you be kept here with me, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And come back to me with your youngest brother: then I will be certain that you are true men, and I will give your brother back to you and let you do trade in the land.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And when they took the grain out of their bags, it was seen that every man's parcel of money was in his bag; and when they and their father saw the money, they were full of fear.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Jacob their father said to them, You have taken my children from me: Joseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin away; all these things have come on me.

אֹתִ֖י (אֹתִ֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And Reuben said, Put my two sons to death if I do not come back to you with him; let him be in my care and I will give him safely back to you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתוֹ֙ (אֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And take your brother and go back to the man:

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”
