And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?

And we said, Only if our youngest brother goes with us will we go down; for we may not see the man's face again if our youngest brother is not with us.

Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.

And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.

But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

And take your brother and go back to the man:

And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.
