Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art. 19My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother. 20And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. 21And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him. 22We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. 23And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more. 24Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said. 25And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat. 26And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man's face. 27Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two. 28One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him; and hitherto he appeareth not. 29If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. 30Therefore, if I shall go to thy servant, our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,) 31And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. 32Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever. 33Therefore I, thy servant, will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren. 34For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
