Genesis 43:3-10

3And JudahH3063 spake unto him, sayingH559, The manH376 didH3808 solemnlyH5749 protest unto usH413, sayingH559, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH1115 your brotherH251 be with youH6440.

4IfH518 thou wilt sendH7971 our brotherH251 with usH7971, weH518 will goH3381 downH3381 and buyH7666 thee foodH400:

5but ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 sendH7971 him, weH3588 will notH3808 goH3381 downH3381: for the manH376 saidH559 unto usH413, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 my faceH6440, exceptH518 your brotherH251 be with youH3588.

6And IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with meH5046, as to tellH5046 the manH376 whether ye had yet a brotherH251?

7And they saidH559, The manH376 askedH7592 straitly concerning ourselvesH4138, and concerning our kindredH4138, sayingH559, Is your fatherH1 yet aliveH2416? have ye anotherH251 brotherH251? and weH3588 toldH5046 him accordingH5921 to the tenor of theseH428 wordsH1697: couldH376 weH3588 in anyH376 wise knowH3045 that he would sayH559, BringH3381 your brotherH251 downH3381?

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto IsraelH3478 his fatherH1, SendH7971 the ladH5288 with meH413, and weH587 will ariseH6965 and goH7971; that weH587 may liveH2421, and notH3808 dieH4191, bothH1571 weH587, and thou, and also our littleH2945 onesH2945.

9I will be suretyH6148 for him; of my handH3027 shalt thou requireH1245 him: ifH518 I bringH935 him notH3808 unto thee, and setH935 him beforeH6440 thee, then letH3808 meH413 bearH2398 the blameH2398 for ever:

10for exceptH3588 weH3588 had lingered, surelyH3588 weH3588 had nowH6258 returnedH7725 a second time.
