Genesis 43:1-5 ▼

1 Meanwhile, the famine remained severe throughout the region.

2 As a result, when Jacob's family was beginning to eat the last of the grain that they had brought back from Egypt, their father Jacob told his sons, |Go back to Egypt and buy us some food.|

3 But Judah reminded him, |The man distinctly warned us: 'You'll never see my face unless your brother comes with you.'

4 So if you send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy some food.

5 But if you don't send him, we're not going, because the man told us, 'You'll never see my face unless your brother is with you.'|
