Genesis 43:1-5 ▼

1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;

2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for us a little food.”

3 And Judah speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;

4 if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,

5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.”
