1 And the famine was heavy upon the earth. 2 And it shall be when they finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, their father will say to them, Turn back, buy for us a little food. 3 And Judah will speak to him, saying, Protesting, the man protested to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother is with you. 4 If thou art sending our brother with us we will go down and will buy food for thee. 5 And if thou art not sending, we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face except your brother is with you. 6 And Israel will say, For what did ye evil to me to announce to the man to be yet a brother to you? 7 And they will say, Asking, the man asked about us and about our family, saying, Is your father yet living? is there a brother to you? and we announced to him according to the mouth of these words: Knowing, did we know that he will say, Bring down your brother? 8 And Judah will say to Israel his father, Send the youth with me, and we will arise and go; and we shall live and not die, also we, also thou, also our little ones. 9 I will be surety for him; from my hand shalt thou seek him, if I brought him not to thee and set him before thee, I sinned before thee all the days.
