¹⁶And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

¹⁷And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

²⁰And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

²¹And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

²²And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

²³And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

²⁴And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

²⁵And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

²⁶And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.

²⁷And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

²⁸And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

²⁹And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

³⁰Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;

³¹It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

³²For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

³³Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

³⁴For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

¹⁷And he said, God forbid that I should doe so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shal be my seruant; and as for you, get you vp in peace vnto your father.

¹⁸¶ Then Iudah came neere vnto him, and said, Oh my LORD, let thy seruant, I pray thee, speake a word in my lords eares, & let not thine anger burne against thy seruant: for thou art euen as Pharaoh.

¹⁹My LORD asked his seruants, saying; Haue ye a father, or a brother?

²⁰And we said vnto my LORD, Wee haue a father, an olde man, and a childe of his old age, a little one: and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loueth him.

²¹And thou saidst vnto thy seruants, Bring him downe vnto mee, that I may set mine eyes vpon him.

²²And we said vnto my LORD, The lad cannot leaue his father: for if hee should leaue his father, his father would die.

²³And thou saidst vnto thy seruants, ^*Except your yongest brother come downe with you, you shall see my face no more.

²⁴And it came to passe when wee came vp vnto thy seruant my father, we told him the words of my LORD.

²⁵And our father said, Goe againe, and buy vs a little food.

²⁶And we saide, Wee cannot goe downe: if our yongest brother be with vs, then will we goe downe: for wee may not see the mans face, except our yongest brother be with vs.

²⁷And thy seruant my father said vnto vs, Ye know that my wife bare me two sonnes.

²⁸And the one went out from me, and I said, ^*Surely he is torne in pieces: and I saw him not since.

²⁹And if ye take this also from me, and mischiefe befall him, ye shall bring downe my gray haires with sorrow to the graue.

³⁰Now therefore when I come to thy seruant my father, and the lad bee not with vs; (seeing that his life is bound vp in the lads life.)

³¹It shall come to passe, when he seeth that the lad is not with vs, that he will die, and thy seruants shall bring downe the gray haires of thy seruant our father with sorrow to the graue.

³²For thy seruant became surety for the lad vnto my father, saying, ^*If I bring him not vnto thee, then I shall beare the blame to my father, for euer.

³³Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy seruant abide in stead of the lad, a bondman to my LORD, and let the lad goe vp with his brethren.

³⁴For how shall I goe vp to my father, and the lad be not with mee, lest peraduenture I see the euill that shall ^†come on my father?
