Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Genesis 42:34But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.’”Genesis 44:23But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’Genesis 43:5But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”Genesis 44:21Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so that I can see him for myself.’Genesis 42:15And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.Genesis 43:19So they approached Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.John 2:5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”Genesis 42:26and they loaded the grain on their donkeys and departed.Genesis 6:22So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.Genesis 44:2Put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
