14 E o Deus Todo-Poderoso vos dê misericórdias diante daquele homem, e vos solte ao outro vosso irmão, e a este Benjamim. E se eu tiver de ser privado de meus filhos, assim seja.

15 Então tomaram aqueles homens o presente, e tomaram em sua mão dobrado dinheiro, e a Benjamim; e se levantaram, e desceram ao Egito, e apresentaram-se diante de José.

16 E viu José a Benjamim com eles, e disse ao mordomo de sua casa: Mete em casa a esses homens, e degola um animal, e prepara-o; porque estes homens comerão comigo ao meio-dia.

17 E fez o homem como José disse; e meteu aquele homem aos homens em casa de José.

18 E aqueles homens tiveram temor, quando foram metidos na casa de José, e diziam: Pelo dinheiro que voltou em nossos sacos a primeira vez nos trouxeram aqui, para virem contra nós, e nos atacar, e tomar por servos a nós, e a nossos asnos.
