Genesis 43:1-5 ▼

1 Now the famine was still severe in the land.

2 So when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt (land of bondage), their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”

3 But Judah (praised) replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You⁺ will not see my face again unless your⁺ brother is with you⁺.’

4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

5 But 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⁺.’”
