Now Josephwas the ruleroverthe land;he was the one who soldto allthe peopleof the land.And Joseph'sbrotherscameand boweddownto him with [their] facesto the ground.
Josephgatheredallthe moneythat was foundin the landof Egyptand in the landof Canaanfor the grainwhichthey bought,and Josephbroughtthe moneyinto Pharaoh'shouse.
"The blessingof the one ready to perishcameupon me, And I made the widow'sheartsingfor joy.
Blessingsare on the headof the righteous,But the mouthof the wickedconcealsviolence.
He who saysto the wicked,"You are righteous,"Peopleswill cursehim, nationswill abhorhim;
He who givesto the poorwill neverwant,But he who shutshis eyeswill have manycurses.
