Genesis 43:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man that you had another brother?”

⁷ They said, “The man interrogated us about ourselves and about our relatives. He asked, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could have known that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down here’?”

⁸ Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
