1 Now the famine was still severe in the land.

2 So when Jacob’s sons had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”

3 But Judah replied, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’

4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

5 But if you will not send him, we will not go; for the man told us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”
