Genesis 43:3 CPDV

¹  Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.

²  And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, 'Return and buy us a little food.'

³  Judah answered: 'The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: 'You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.'

⁴  If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.

⁵  But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: 'You will not see my face without your youngest brother.'
