Genesis 43:1

Verse 1 of 34. The 43rd of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1The famine was severe in the land.

2When they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little more food.”

3Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’

4If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food;

5but if you don’t send him, we won’t go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’”
