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

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.

וַֽיְהִ֞י (יְהִ֞י) y.Hi “it was”

If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

נִֽהְיֶ֥ה nih.Yeh “we will be[long]”

And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

יִהְיֶה־ yih.yeh- “he will be”תִּהְי֥וּ tih.Yu “you will be”

Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

יִהְיֶה־ yih.yeh- “he will be”

And when we went back to your servant, our father, we gave him an account of my lord's words.

וַיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it was”

When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld.

The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:

Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?

וְהָיָ֕ה (הָיָ֕ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.

הָי֤וּ ha.Yu “they have been”

And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

וְנִֽהְיֶ֞ה (נִֽהְיֶ֞ה) nih.Yeh “we may be”

So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.

And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

וְהָיִ֥ינוּ (הָיִ֥ינוּ) ha.Yi.nu “we will be”

And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

יִֽהְיוּ־ yih.yu- “they will be[long]”

יִהְי֑וּ yih.Yu “they will be[long]”
