Jubilee Bible

Genesis 43:15-25 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

15. Then the men took the present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

16. And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home and slay an animal and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

17. And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.

18. 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 the first time we are brought in here that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us and take us for slaves and our asses.

19. And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house

20. and said, my lord, we came indeed down the first time to buy food;

21. and it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.

22. And we brought down other money in our hands to buy food; we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

23. And he said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

24. And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he gave their asses fodder.

25. And they made ready the present waiting until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
