knew that his brethren were in hiding among the reeds, but he would
not reveal it to the others lest they should fall upon them; and he
loved Aseneth because she would save them alive.

Now the son of Pharaoh, who was fallen from his horse, began to
recover himself, and sat up and spat blood out of his mouth, for the
blood ran down from the wound on his temple into his mouth. And
Benjamin saw it, and ran and drew the sword of the son of Pharaoh
(for as yet Benjamin bare no sword upon his thigh), and would have
slain him; but Levi hasted and caught his hand, saying, "It is not
right for us that fear God to trample upon him that is fallen, or to
afflict our enemy to death. Put back the sword into its place and
help me, and we will tend his wound, and if he lives he shall be our
friend." Then Levi helped up the son of Pharaoh from the ground, and
washed the blood from his face and bound up his wound with a bandage,
and put him upon his horse and took him to Pharaoh his father, and
told him all that had happened. And Pharaoh rose up from his throne
and blessed Levi. But on the third day after, the son of Pharaoh died
of his wound.

And Pharaoh mourned sore for his firstborn son, insomuch that he fell
sick and died, being a hundred and nine years old, and left his crown
to Joseph; and Joseph reigned alone in Egypt forty and eight years,
and thereafter gave the kingdom to the younger son of Pharaoh, who
was a sucking child when his father died. And thenceforth Joseph was
called the father of the king throughout all the land of Egypt.
