Joseph and Asenath 29

1And Pharaoh's son rose up from the earth and sat up and spat out the blood from his mouth, for the blood was running from his temple into his mouth. And Benjamin ran up to him and took his sword from his sheath, and wished to slay Pharaoh's son. Then Levi ran and held the hand of Benjamin and said: "By no means, brother, do thou do this thing, for that we are men who worship God, and it is not meet for a man who worshippeth God to render evil for evil, or to trample on him that is fallen, or to crush an enemy unto death. And now come, let us tend his wound; and, if he liveth, he shall be our friend, and his father Pharaoh shall be unto us as a father." Then Levi raised Pharaoh's son from the earth and washed the blood from his face, and tied a bandage round his wound, and set him upon his horse, and led him to Pharaoh his father, and made known to him all that had come to pass. And Pharaoh rose up from his throne and made obeisance to Levi upon the earth, and blessed him. And on the third day Pharaoh's son died of the wound from the stone of Benjamin. And Pharaoh mourned for his firstborn son exceedingly, and from the grief he became infirm. And Pharaoh died at one hundred and nine years old, and he left his diadem to Joseph; and Joseph reigned in Egypt forty-eight years, and thereafter Joseph rendered the diadem to the younger son of Pharaoh, who was at his breast when Pharaoh died, and Joseph was as a father to him in the land of Egypt all the days of his life.
