Genesis 44:23

New American Bible - revised edition

But you told your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not see me again.’

See the chapter Copy

But Judah replied: “The man strictly warned us, ‘You shall not see me unless your brother is with you.’

But if you are not willing, we will not go down, because the man told us, ‘You shall not see me unless your brother is with you.’”

We replied to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; his father would die if he left him.’

When we returned to your servant my father, we reported to him the words of my lord.
