And she said [0559] to her father [01], Let it not displease [05869] [02734] my lord [0113] that I cannot [03201] rise up [06965] before thee [06440]; for the custom [01870] of women [0802] is upon me. And he searched [02664], but found [04672] not the images [08655].

And I have oxen [07794], and asses [02543], flocks [06629], and menservants [05650], and womenservants [08198]: and I have sent [07971] to tell [05046] my lord [0113], that I may find [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869].
Then thou shalt say [0559], They be thy servant [05650] Jacob's [03290]; it is a present [04503] sent [07971] unto my lord [0113] Esau [06215]: and, behold, also he is behind us [0310].
And he said [0559], What meanest thou by all this drove [04264] which I met [06298]? And he said [0559], These are to find [04672] grace [02580] in the sight [05869] of my lord [0113].What…: Heb. What is all this band to thee?

Let my lord [0113], I pray thee, pass over [05674] before [06440] his servant [05650]: and I will lead on [05095] softly [0328], according as [07272] the cattle [04399] that goeth before me [06440] and the children [03206] be able to endure [07272], until I come [0935] unto my lord [0113] unto Seir [08165].according…: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children

And the Lord [03068] was with Joseph [03130], and he was a prosperous [06743] man [0376]; and he was in the house [01004] of his master [0113] the Egyptian [04713].
And his master [0113] saw [07200] that the Lord [03068] was with him, and that the Lord [03068] made all that he did [06213] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027].
And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that his master's [0113] wife [0802] cast [05375] her eyes [05869] upon Joseph [03130]; and she said [0559], Lie [07901] with me.
But he refused [03985], and said [0559] unto his master's [0113] wife [0802], Behold, my master [0113] wotteth [03045] not what is with me in the house [01004], and he hath committed [05414] all that he hath [03426] to my hand [03027];
And she laid up [03240] his garment [0899] by her [0681], until his lord [0113] came [0935] home [01004].
And it came to pass, when his master [0113] heard [08085] the words [01697] of his wife [0802], which she spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], After this manner [01697] did [06213] thy servant [05650] to me; that his wrath [0639] was kindled [02734].
And Joseph's [03130] master [0113] took [03947] him, and put him [05414] into the prison [05470] [01004], a place [04725] where the king's [04428] prisoners [0615] were bound [0631]: and he was there in the prison [05470] [01004].
And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that the butler [08248] of the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] and his baker [0644] had offended [02398] their lord [0113] the king [04428] of Egypt [04714].
And he asked [07592] Pharaoh's [06547] officers [05631] that were with him in the ward [04929] of his lord's [0113] house [01004], saying [0559], Wherefore look [06440] ye so sadly [07451] to day [03117]?look…: Heb. are your faces evil?
And they said [0559] unto him, Nay, my lord [0113], but to buy [07666] food [0400] are thy servants [05650] come [0935].
The man [0376], who is the lord [0113] of the land [0776], spake [01696] roughly [07186] to us, and took [05414] us for spies [07270] of the country [0776].roughly…: Heb. with us hard things
And the man [0376], the lord [0113] of the country [0776], said [0559] unto us, Hereby shall I know [03045] that ye are true [03651] men; leave [03240] one [0259] of your brethren [0251] here with me, and take [03947] food for the famine [07459] of your households [01004], and be gone [03212]:
And said [0559], O [0994] sir [0113], we came indeed [03381] down [03381] at the first time [08462] to buy [07666] food [0400]:we…: Heb. coming down we came down
Is not this it in which my lord [0113] drinketh [08354], and whereby indeed [05172] he divineth [05172]? ye have done evil [07489] in so doing [06213].divineth: or, maketh trial?
And they said [0559] unto him, Wherefore saith [01696] my lord [0113] these words [01697]? God forbid [02486] that thy servants [05650] should do [06213] according to this thing [01697]:
Behold, the money [03701], which we found [04672] in our sacks' [0572] mouths [06310], we brought again [07725] unto thee out of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]: how then should we steal [01589] out of thy lord's [0113] house [01004] silver [03701] or gold [02091]?
With whomsoever of thy servants [05650] it be found [04672], both let him die [04191], and we also will be my lord's [0113] bondmen [05650].
And Judah [03063] said [0559], What shall we say [0559] unto my lord [0113]? what shall we speak [01696]? or how shall we clear ourselves [06663]? God [0430] hath found out [04672] the iniquity [05771] of thy servants [05650]: behold, we are my lord's [0113] servants [05650], both we, and he also [01571] with whom [03027] [0834] the cup [01375] is found [04672].
Then Judah [03063] came near [05066] unto him, and said [0559], Oh [0994] my lord [0113], let thy servant [05650], I pray thee, speak [01696] a word [01697] in my lord's [0113] ears [0241], and let not thine anger [0639] burn [02734] against thy servant [05650]: for thou art even as Pharaoh [06547].
My lord [0113] asked [07592] his servants [05650], saying [0559], Have [03426] ye a father [01], or a brother [0251]?
And we said [0559] unto my lord [0113], We have [03426] a father [01], an old man [02205], and a child [03206] of his old age [02208], a little one [06996]; and his brother [0251] is dead [04191], and he alone is left [03498] of his mother [0517], and his father [01] loveth [0157] him.
And we said [0559] unto my lord [0113], The lad [05288] cannot [03201] leave [05800] his father [01]: for if he should leave [05800] his father [01], his father would die [04191].
And it came to pass when we came up [05927] unto thy servant [05650] my father [01], we told [05046] him the words [01697] of my lord [0113].
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant [05650] abide [03427] instead of the lad [05288] a bondman [05650] to my lord [0113]; and let the lad [05288] go up [05927] with his brethren [0251].
So now it was not you that sent [07971] me hither, but God [0430]: and he hath made [07760] me a father [01] to Pharaoh [06547], and lord [0113] of all his house [01004], and a ruler [04910] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
Haste [04116] ye, and go up [05927] to my father [01], and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] thy son [01121] Joseph [03130], God [0430] hath made [07760] me lord [0113] of all Egypt [04714]: come down [03381] unto me, tarry [05975] not:
When that year [08141] was ended [08552], they came [0935] unto him the second [08145] year [08141], and said [0559] unto him, We will not hide [03582] it from my lord [0113], how that our money [03701] is spent [08552]; my lord [0113] also hath [0413] our herds [04735] of cattle [0929]; there is not ought left [07604] in the sight [06440] of my lord [0113], but our bodies [01472], and our lands [0127]:
And they said [0559], Thou hast saved our lives [02421]: let us find [04672] grace [02580] in the sight [05869] of my lord [0113], and we will be Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650].
