Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 43:21-27 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

21. When we came to the lodge and opened our sacks, behold, there was each man’s money at the opening of the sack, the full amount of our money. So we’ve returned it in our hand.

22. Moreover, we’ve brought down other money in our hand to buy grain for food. We didn’t know who put our money into our sacks.”

23. “Be at peace,” he replied. “Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. Your money had come to me.” Then he brought Simeon out to them,

24. and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water and they washed their feet. He also provided fodder for their donkeys.

25. So they prepared the offering for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they had heard that they were going to eat there.

26. When Joseph came home, they brought him the offering in their hand into the house, and they bowed down to the ground to him.

27. Then he asked if they were well, and said, “Is he well—your elderly father that you told me about? Is he still alive?”
