1 When Iacob sawe that there was corne to be solde in Egipte he sayde vnto his sones: why are ye negligent? 2 beholde I haue hearde that there is corne to be solde i n Egipte. Gete you thither and bye vs corne fro thece that we maye lyue and not dye. 3 So went Iosephs ten brethern doune to bye corne in Egipte 4 for Ben Iamin Iosephs brother wold not Iacob sende with his other brethren: for he sayde: some mysfortune myght happen him 5 And the sonnes of Israell came to bye corne amonge other that came for there was derth also in the lande of Canaan. 6 And Ioseph was gouerner in the londe and solde corne to all the people of the londe. And his brethren came and fell flatt on the grounde before him. 7 When Ioseph sawe his brethern he knewe them: But made straunge vnto them and spake rughly vnto them saynge: Whence come ye? and they sayde: out of the lande of Canaan to bye vitayle. 8 Ioseph knewe his brethern but they knewe not him. 9 And Ioseph remembred his dreames which he dreamed of them and sayde vnto them: ye are spies and to se where the lande is weake is youre comynge.
