Genesis 43:1-10

11Now the famineH7458 was severeH3515 in the landH776. 2So it cameH1961 about whenH3512 they had finishedH3615 eatingH398 the grainH7668 whichH834 they had broughtH935 from EgyptH4714, that their fatherH1 saidH559 to them, “GoH7725 backH7725, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.” 3JudahH3063 spokeH559 to him, however, sayingH559, “2The manH376 solemnlyH5749 warnedH5749 3us, ‘You shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH1115 your brotherH251 is with you.’ 4IfH518 you sendH7971 our brotherH251 with us, we will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 you foodH400. 5But ifH518 you do not sendH7971 him, we will not goH3381 downH3381; for the manH376 saidH559 to us, ‘You will not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH1115 your brotherH251 is with you.’” 6Then IsraelH3478 saidH559, “WhyH4100 did you treatH7489 me so badlyH7489 4by tellingH5046 the manH376 whether you stillH5750 had another brotherH251?” 7But they saidH559, “The manH376 questionedH7592 particularlyH7592 about us and our relativesH4138, sayingH559, ‘5Is your fatherH1 stillH5750 aliveH2416? HaveH3426 you another brotherH251?’ So we 6answeredH5046 his questionsH1697. Could we possiblyH3045 knowH3045 that he would sayH559, ‘BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381’?” 8JudahH3063 saidH559 to his fatherH1 IsraelH3478, “SendH7971 the ladH5288 with me and we will ariseH6965 and goH1980, 7that we may liveH2421 and not dieH4191, we as wellH1571 as you and our littleH2945 onesH2945. 98I myselfH595 will be suretyH6148 for him; 9you may holdH1245H3027 me responsibleH4480H3027 for him. IfH518 I do not bringH935 him back to you and setH3322 him beforeH6440 you, then 10let me bearH2398 the blameH2398 before you foreverH3605H3117. 10For ifH3884 we had not delayedH4102, surelyH3588 by nowH6258 we could have returnedH7725 twiceH6471.”
