And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

but if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
