The Holy Scripture
Chapter XXIX
1 And Pharaoh's son lifted himself up from the ground and sat up; and he spat blood from his mouth, because his blood was running from his temple into his mouth.
2 And Benjamin advanced upon him and took hold of his sword and drew it from its scabbard (for Benjamin had no sword of his own with him).
3 And as he was about to strike Pharaoh's son, Levi rushed up and seized him by the hand and said, "No brother, you must not do this, for we are men who worship God, and it is not right for a man who worships God to repay evil for evil, or to trample upon a man who has already fallen, or to harry his enemy to death.
4 But come: let us bind up his wound; and if he lives, he will be our friend, and his father Pharaoh will be our father."
5 And Levi raised Pharaoh's son up and washed the blood off his face and bound a bandage round his wound; and he set him on his horse and took him to his father.
6 And Levi told him everything that had happened.
7 And Pharaoh got up from his throne and made obeisance to Levi upon the ground.
8 And on the third day Pharaoh's son died from the wound of Benjamin's stone.
9 And Pharaoh mourned for his eldest son, and he was worn out with grief.
10 And Pharaoh died at the age of one hundred and nine; and he left his crown to Joseph.
11 And Joseph was king of Egypt for forty-eight years.
12 And after this Joseph gave the crown to Pharaoh's grandson; and Joseph was like a father to him in Egypt. HTML format, Copyright (C) 2010, Jerome Computing All rights Reserved.
