2. And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3. And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
4. If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
5. but if thou do not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your brother be with you.
6. And Israel said, Why did ye deal so ill with me as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7. And they said, The man asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
