[The Pentateuch]

Sir / we came hither at the first time to bye food / and as we came to an Inn and opened our sacks: behold / every mans money was in his sack with full weight: But we have brought it again with us / & other money have we brought also in our hands / to bye food / but we can not tell who put our money in our sacks.

And he said: be of good cheer / fear not: Your God and the God of your fathers hath put you that treasure in your sacks / for I had ⟨p. lxv⟩your money. And he brought Simeon out to them and led them into Josephs house / & gave them water to wash their feet / and gave their asses provender: And they made ready their present against Joseph came at none / for they heard say that they should dine there.

When Joseph came home / they brought the present in to the house to him / which they had in their hands / and fell at on the ground be for him. And he welcomed them courteously saying: is your father that old man which ye told me of / in good health? and is he yet alive they answered: thy servant our father is in good health / and is yet alive. And they bowed them selves and fell to the ground.
