Genesis 44:18-34

18Then JudahH3063 approachedH5066 him, and saidH559, “OhH994 my lordH113, may your servantH5650 pleaseH4994 speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord’sH113 earsH241, and 12do not be angryH639H2734 with your servantH5650; for 3you are equal to PharaohH6547.

194My lordH113 askedH7592 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, ‘HaveH3426 you a fatherH1 orH176 a brotherH251?’

20We saidH559 to my lordH113, ‘We haveH3426 an oldH2205 fatherH1 and 5a littleH6996 childH3206 of his oldH2208 ageH2208. Now 6his brotherH251 is deadH4191, so he aloneH905 is leftH3498 of his motherH517, and his fatherH1 lovesH157 him.’

21Then you saidH559 to your servantsH5650, ‘7BringH3381 him downH3381 to me that I may setH7760 my eyesH5869 on him.’

22But we saidH559 to my lordH113, ‘The ladH5288 cannotH3201H3808 leaveH5800 his fatherH1, for if he should leaveH5800 his fatherH1, 8his father would dieH4191.’

23You saidH559 to your servantsH5650, however, ‘9UnlessH518H3808 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 comesH3381 downH3381 with you, you will not seeH7200 my faceH6440 againH3254.’

24Thus it cameH1961 about whenH3588 we wentH5927 up to your servantH5650 my fatherH1, we toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of my lordH113.

2510Our fatherH1 saidH559, ‘GoH7725 backH7725, buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.’

26But we saidH559, ‘We cannotH3201H3808 goH3381 downH3381. IfH518 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 is with us, then we will goH3381 downH3381; for we cannotH3201H3808 seeH7200 the man’sH376 faceH6440 unlessH369 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 is with us.’

27Your servantH5650 my fatherH1 saidH559 to us, ‘You knowH3045 that 11my wifeH802 boreH3205 me twoH8147 sons;

28and the oneH259 wentH3318 out from me, and 12I saidH559, “SurelyH389 he is tornH2963 in piecesH2963,” and I have not seenH7200 him sinceH5704H2008.

29If you takeH3947 thisH2088 oneH2088 alsoH1571 from 13me, and harmH611 befallsH7136 him, you will 14bringH3381 my grayH7872 hairH7872 downH3381 to SheolH7585 in 15sorrowH7463.’

30NowH6258, therefore, when I comeH935 to your servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 is not with us, since 1617his lifeH5315 is boundH7194 up in the lad’s lifeH5315,

31when he seesH7200 that the ladH5288 is not with us, he will dieH4191. Thus your servantsH5650 will 18bringH3381 the grayH7872 hairH7872 of your servantH5650 our fatherH1 downH3381 to SheolH7585 in sorrowH3015.

32For your servantH5650 19becameH6148 suretyH6148 for the ladH5288 to my fatherH1, sayingH559, ‘IfH518 I do not bringH935 him back to you, then 20let me bearH2398 the blameH2398 before my fatherH1 foreverH3605H3117.’

33NowH6258, therefore, pleaseH4994 let your servantH5650 remainH3427 insteadH8478 of the ladH5288 a slaveH5650 to my lordH113, and let the ladH5288 goH5927 up with his brothersH251.

34For howH349 shall I goH5927 up to my fatherH1 if the ladH5288 is not with me--for fearH6435 that I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that would 21overtakeH4672 my fatherH1?”
