And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

וַיַּ֨רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”

Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,

וַיִּֽירְא֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ (וַ) va “and”

And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;

וַֽיִּגְּשׁוּ֙ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיְדַבְּר֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;

וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

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

And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיּוֹצֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.

And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.

וַיָּכִ֙ינוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבִ֥יאּוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ (וַ) va “and”

And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.

Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.

וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּקְּד֖וּ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ׃ (וַ) va “and”

Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.

וַיִּשָּׂ֣א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֞רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמַ֕ר (וַ) va “and”

Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.

וַיִּרְחַ֥ץ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵ֑א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּ֨תְאַפַּ֔ק (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.

וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ (וַ) va “and”

And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.

Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;

וַיְצַ֞ו (וַ) va “and”

And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

וַיַּ֕עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?

וְהִשַּׂגְתָּם֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ (וְ) ve. “and”

So he overtook them and said these words to them.

וַֽיַּשִּׂגֵ֑ם (וַֽ) va “and”וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר (וַ) va “and”

And they said to him, Why does my lord say such words as these? far be it from your servants to do such a thing:

וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וָמֵ֑ת (וָ) va. “and”

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.
