The Brothers Arrive and Fear

15

Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.

16

And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.

17

And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.

18

Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.

19

Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.

20

And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,

21

And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.

22

Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.

23

And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.

24

So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.

25

And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
