Genesis 43:2-7 ▼

2 And it came to pass when they had finished eating the grain that they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, “Return, buy for us a little food.”

3 And Judah said to him, saying, “The man surely warned us, saying, ‘You? shall not see my face unless your? brother is with you?.’

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

5 But if you are not sending him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You? shall not see my face unless your? brother is with you?.’”

6 And Israel said, “Why have you? done evil to me, to tell the man you had yet to you? a brother?”

7 And they said, “The man surely asked about us and about our family, saying, ‘Is your? father still alive? Is there unto you? a brother?’ And we told him, according to the mouth, these words. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring down your? brother’?”
