Genesis 43:1-10

1And the famineH7458 was sore in the landH776.

2And it cameH935 to pass, when they had eatenH398 up the grainH7668 which they had broughtH935 out of EgyptH4714, their fatherH1 saidH559 unto them, GoH935 again, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.

3And JudahH3063 spake unto him, sayingH559, The manH376 did solemnly protest unto us, sayingH559, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except your brotherH251 be with you.

4If thou wilt sendH7971 our brotherH251 with us, we will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 thee foodH400:

5but if thou wilt not sendH7971 him, we will not goH3381 down; for the manH376 saidH559 unto us, Ye shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440, except your brotherH251 be with you.

6And IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tellH5046 the manH376 whether ye had yetH5750 a brotherH251?

7And they saidH559, The manH376 askedH7592 straitly concerning ourselves, and concerning our kindredH4138, sayingH559, Is your fatherH1 yetH5750 aliveH2416? have ye another brotherH251? and we toldH5046 him according to the tenor of these wordsH1697: could we in any wise knowH3045 that he would sayH559, BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381?

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto IsraelH3478 his fatherH1, SendH7971 the ladH5288 with me, and we will ariseH6965 and goH7971; that we may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, both we, and thou, and alsoH1571 our littleH2945 onesH2945.

9I will be suretyH6148 for him; of my handH3027 shalt thou requireH1245 him: if I bringH935 him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

10for except we had lingered, surely we had nowH6258 returnedH7725 a second timeH6471.
