| 19 | And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house, | Alors ils s'approchèrent de l'intendant de la maison de Joseph, et lui parlèrent à la porte de la maison, et dirent: | And they came near to the steward of Joseph`s house, and they spake unto him at the door of the house, | E accostatisi al maggiordomo della casa di Giuseppe parlarono con lui sulla porta di casa e dissero: |

| 21 | And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. | Et lorsque nous arrivâmes à l'hôtellerie, et que nous ouvrîmes nos sacs, voici, l'argent de chacun était à l'entrée de son sac, notre argent selon son poids; et nous l'avons rapporté en nos mains. | and it came to pass, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man`s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand. | e avvenne che, quando fummo giunti al luogo dove pernottammo, aprimmo i sacchi, ed ecco il denaro di ciascuno stava alla bocca del suo sacco; il nostro denaro col suo peso esatto; ora lo abbiamo riportato con noi. |
| 22 | And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. | Et nous avons apporté d'autre argent en nos mains, pour acheter des vivres; nous ne savons qui avait remis notre argent dans nos sacs. | And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food: we know not who put our money in our sacks. | E abbiamo portato con noi dell'altro denaro per comperare viveri; noi non sappiamo chi possa aver messo il nostro denaro nei nostri sacchi. |
| 23 | And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money.

| 32 | And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. | Et on le servit à part, et eux à part; et les Égyptiens qui mangeaient avec lui furent aussi servis à part, parce que les Égyptiens ne peuvent manger le pain avec les Hébreux; car c'est une abomination pour les Égyptiens. | And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, that did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. | Fu dunque servito per lui a parte, per loro a parte e per gli Egiziani che mangiavano con lui a parte, perché gli Egiziani non possono mangiare con gli Ebrei; ciò sarebbe cosa abominevole per gli Egiziani. |
| 33 | And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another. | Ils s'assirent donc en sa présence, l'aîné selon son droit d'aînesse, et le plus jeune selon son âge.

| 34 | And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's.
