Genesis 43:8 CPDV

⁶  Israel said to them, 'You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.'

⁷  But they responded: 'The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, 'Bring your brother with you?'

⁸  Likewise, Judah said to his father: 'Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.

⁹  I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.

¹⁰  If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.'
