Genesis 43:1-5 ▼

1 Now the famine was severe in the land.

2 So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, |Go again, buy us a little more food.|

3 But Judah spoke to him, saying, |The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'

4 If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food,

5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is with you.'|
