18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. |
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? |
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. |
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. ... |
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. |
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. |
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. |
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us. |
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: |
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: |
29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. |
