but if you will not let him go, we will not go down, for that man said to us, ‘Do not let me see your faces * Do not let me see your faces See note at v. 3. unless your brother is with you.'"

They replied, "But the man kept asking about us and our family, saying, ‘Is your father still living? Have you another brother?' And we answered him accordingly. How were we to know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here'?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.7", "ref": "Genesis 43:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3167.1815631929107 }
Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy in my care, and let us be on our way, that we may live and not die—you and we and our children.

I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible: if I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I shall stand guilty before you forever.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.9", "ref": "Genesis 43:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9271.62779585786 }
For we could have been there and back twice if we had not dawdled."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.10", "ref": "Genesis 43:10", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2881.3725607389124 }
Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, do this: take some of the choice products of the land in your baggage, and carry them down as a gift for the man—some balm and some honey, gum, ladanum, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.11", "ref": "Genesis 43:11", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 13645.641504210938 }
And take with you double the money, carrying back with you the money that was replaced in the mouths of your bags; perhaps it was a mistake.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.12", "ref": "Genesis 43:12", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2891.0641245224765 }
Take your brother too; and go back at once to the man.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.13", "ref": "Genesis 43:13", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2446.98362837688 }
And may El Shaddai dispose the man to mercy toward you, that he may release to you your other brother, as well as Benjamin. As for me, if I am to be bereaved, I shall be bereaved."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.14", "ref": "Genesis 43:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9773.736996968708 }
So the agents * agents More precisely, "participants whose involvement defines the depicted situation"—i.e., the sons who have been delegated as their father's agents. See the Dictionary under 'ish ; Agent. took that gift, and they took with them double the money, as well as Benjamin. They made their way down to Egypt, where they presented themselves to Joseph.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.15", "ref": "Genesis 43:15", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3464.4509320762277 }
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, "Take those men * those men More precisely, "the [salient] participants." See the Dictionary under 'ish . into the house; slaughter and prepare an animal, for those men will dine with me at noon."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.16", "ref": "Genesis 43:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 19292.509442193186 }
The man did as Joseph said, and he brought the men into Joseph's house.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.17", "ref": "Genesis 43:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 1918.8213932422966 }
But the men were frightened at being brought into Joseph's house. "It must be," they thought, "because of the money replaced in our bags the first time that we have been brought inside, as a pretext to attack us and seize us as slaves, with our pack animals."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.18", "ref": "Genesis 43:18", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3852.625825241207 }
So they went up to Joseph's house steward and spoke to him at the entrance of the house.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.19", "ref": "Genesis 43:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2487.618241206226 }
"If you please, my lord," they said, "we came down once before to procure food.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.20", "ref": "Genesis 43:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2245.047515506631 }
But when we arrived at the night encampment and opened our bags, there was each one's money in the mouth of his bag, our money in full. * in full Lit. "by its weight." So we have brought it back with us.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.21", "ref": "Genesis 43:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2010.419314467095 }
And we have brought down with us other money to procure food. We do not know who put the money in our bags."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.22", "ref": "Genesis 43:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 1863.3185611305182 }
He replied, "All is well with you; do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father's [house], must have put treasure in your bags for you. I got your payment." And he brought out Simeon to them.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.23", "ref": "Genesis 43:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3463.820869634093 }
Then the steward brought the men into Joseph's house; he gave them water to bathe their feet, and he provided feed for their asses.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.24", "ref": "Genesis 43:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3335.544005770147 }
They laid out their gifts to await Joseph's arrival at noon, for they had heard that they were to dine there.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.25", "ref": "Genesis 43:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2676.323921705097 }
When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts that they had brought with them into the house, bowing low before him to the ground.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.26", "ref": "Genesis 43:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4787.365697476567 }
He greeted them, and he said, "How is your aged father of whom you spoke? Is he still in good health?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.27", "ref": "Genesis 43:27", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5013.541234640474 }
They replied, "It is well with your servant our father; he is still in good health." And they bowed and made obeisance.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.28", "ref": "Genesis 43:28", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 2836.9182006333917 }
Looking about, he saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and asked, "Is this your youngest brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he went on, "May God be gracious to you, my boy."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.29", "ref": "Genesis 43:29", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 17063.887030137797 }
With that, Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with feeling toward his brother and was on the verge of tears; he went into a room and wept there.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.30", "ref": "Genesis 43:30", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 28846.159994488607 }
Then he washed his face, reappeared, and—now in control of himself—gave the order, "Serve the meal."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.31", "ref": "Genesis 43:31", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3451.227404715746 }
They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; for the Egyptians could not dine with the Hebrews, since that would be abhorrent to the Egyptians.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.32", "ref": "Genesis 43:32", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 19582.02579780309 }
As they were seated by his direction, from the oldest in the order of his seniority to the youngest in the order of his youth, the men looked at one another in astonishment.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.33", "ref": "Genesis 43:33", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4081.7310470831835 }
Portions were served them from his table; but Benjamin's portion was several * several Lit. "five." times that of anyone else. And they drank their fill with him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.43.34", "ref": "Genesis 43:34", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7630.079293736794 }
Then he instructed his house steward as follows, "Fill the men's bags with food, as much as they can carry, and put each one's money in the mouth of his bag.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.1", "ref": "Genesis 44:1", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 20088.42505732693 }
Put my silver goblet in the mouth of the bag of the youngest one, together with his money for the rations." And he did as Joseph told him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.2", "ref": "Genesis 44:2", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7243.210930632825 }
With the first light of morning, the men were sent off with their pack animals.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.3", "ref": "Genesis 44:3", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6057.344631513201 }
They had just left the city and had not gone far, when Joseph said to his house steward, "Up, go after those men! And when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why did you repay good with evil?
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.4", "ref": "Genesis 44:4", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5683.011321364518 }
It is the very one from which my master drinks and which he uses for divination. It was a wicked thing for you to do!'"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.5", "ref": "Genesis 44:5", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4808.774413880701 }
He overtook them and spoke those words to them.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.6", "ref": "Genesis 44:6", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3869.906962231331 }
And they said to him, "Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do anything of the kind!
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.7", "ref": "Genesis 44:7", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4521.326431201383 }
Here we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money that we found in the mouths of our bags. How then could we have stolen any silver or gold from your master's house!
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.8", "ref": "Genesis 44:8", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7193.121258449957 }
Whichever of your servants it is found with shall die; the rest of us, moreover, shall become slaves to my lord."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.9", "ref": "Genesis 44:9", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5438.858065917886 }
He replied, "Although what you are proposing is right, only the one with whom it is found shall be my slave; but the rest of you shall go free."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.10", "ref": "Genesis 44:10", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4825.171861126468 }
So each one hastened to lower his bag to the ground, and each one opened his bag.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.11", "ref": "Genesis 44:11", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4079.6776286747236 }
He searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest; and the goblet turned up in Benjamin's bag.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.12", "ref": "Genesis 44:12", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10844.50184885955 }
At this they rent their clothes. Each reloaded his pack animal, and they returned to the city.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.13", "ref": "Genesis 44:13", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5369.500973208895 }
When Judah and his brothers reentered the house of Joseph, who was still there, they threw themselves on the ground before him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.14", "ref": "Genesis 44:14", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 10170.512110170694 }
Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me practices divination?"
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.15", "ref": "Genesis 44:15", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 9079.259346110905 }
Judah replied, "What can we say to my lord? How can we plead, how can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered the crime of your servants. Here we are, then, slaves of my lord, the rest of us as much as he in whose possession the goblet was found."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.16", "ref": "Genesis 44:16", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 22106.546195082447 }
But he replied, "Far be it from me to act thus! Only the one in whose possession the goblet was found shall be my slave; the rest of you go back in peace to your father."
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.17", "ref": "Genesis 44:17", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7299.934534660335 }
Then Judah went up to him and said, "Please, my lord, let your servant appeal to my lord, and do not be impatient with your servant, you who are the equal of Pharaoh.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.18", "ref": "Genesis 44:18", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 388832.01472931117 }
My lord asked his servants, ‘Have you a father or another brother?'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.19", "ref": "Genesis 44:19", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 7214.975788930166 }
We told my lord, ‘We have an old father, and there is a child of his old age, the youngest; his full brother is dead, so that he alone is left of his mother, and his father dotes on him.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.20", "ref": "Genesis 44:20", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 8649.033510559844 }
Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set eyes on him.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.21", "ref": "Genesis 44:21", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6055.162438818733 }
We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he were to leave him, his father would die.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.22", "ref": "Genesis 44:22", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 6072.609013931133 }
But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, do not let me see your faces.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.23", "ref": "Genesis 44:23", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3479.9120064684553 }
When we came back to your servant my father, we reported my lord's words to him.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.24", "ref": "Genesis 44:24", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 4732.151386019492 }
"Later our father said, ‘Go back and procure some food for us.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.25", "ref": "Genesis 44:25", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5318.32777114164 }
We answered, ‘We cannot go down; only if our youngest brother is with us can we go down, for we may not show our faces to the man * show our faces to the man Lit. "see the [salient] participant's face." unless our youngest brother is with us.'
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.26", "ref": "Genesis 44:26", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 3572.6764248670574 }
Your servant my father said to us, ‘As you know, my wife bore me two sons.

But one is gone from me, and I said: Alas, he was torn by a beast! And I have not seen him since.
{ "url": "https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.44.28", "ref": "Genesis 44:28", "versionTitle": "The Contemporary Torah, Jewish Publication Society, 2006", "lang": "en", "docCategory": "Tanakh", "dataQuality": "professional", "pagerank": 5995.036427884783 }
If you take this one from me, too, and he meets with disaster, you will send my white head down to Sheol in sorrow.'
