Genesis 43:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?

⁸ And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.

⁹ I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
