Genesis 43:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ And Israel said, “Why have you dealt so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you still had a brother or not?”

⁷ And they answered, “The man directly asked about us and about our family, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have any other brothers?’ And we told him as we have said. Could we have known for certain that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?”

⁸ Then Judah said to Israel, his father, “Send the boy with me, so that we may rise and go and so that we may live and not die, both we and you and our children.
