And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bond-men, and our asses.

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

And said, O sir, we came down indeed at the first time to buy food:

וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birth-right, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men wondered one at another.

And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money: and he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

וַיַּ֕עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?

And they said to him, Why saith my lord these words? Far be it from us that thy servants should do according to this thing:

וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ (וַ) va “and”

With whom soever of thy servants it shall be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bond-men.

וָמֵ֑ת (וָ) va. “and”
