Joseph's brothers descend again to Egypt
1 And the famine was severe in the land.
2 It happened, as you have just eat the food they brought from Egypt, told them his father Tonai, buy us a little food.
3 But Judah said to him, saying, strongly protested that the man, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4 If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food;
5 But if you do not send them, we will not go down; because that man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6 And Israel said, Why have you done me this evil, conveying that man that ye had yet a brother?
7 And they said, The man asked us for us, and our kindred, saying, your father yet alive? you have a brother? and we told him according to these words. You could say that we know; Bring your brother?
8 Then Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and up we will, and we will, that we may live, and not die, neither we nor you, nor our children.
9 I will be surety for him, from my hand require him; if I do not bring to, and not put it before thee, I will be the blame for you forever.
10 And if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Then Israel said to them, his father, it must be so now, do this; the most precious take up the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds;
12 And take in your hands folded money; and the money made in the mouth of your sacks to take into your hands; it may be they were wrong.
13 And take your brother, and rise up, and turn that man;
14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, so let it come you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, if I be bereaved, bereaved.
