Genesis 43:3–10

³And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man ^†did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your ^bbrother be with you. ⁴If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: ⁵But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. ⁶And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? ⁷And they said, The man ^†asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the ^†tenor of these words: ^†could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? ⁸And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may ^clive, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones. ⁹I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: ^dif I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: ¹⁰For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned ^||this second time.
