01:044:016 And 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.
01:044:017 And 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.
01:044:018 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy
servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let
not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as
Pharaoh.
01:044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a
brother?
01:044:020 And 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.
01:044:021 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me,
that I may set mine eyes upon him.
01:044:022 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for
if he should leave his father, his father would die.
01:044:023 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest
brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
01:044:024 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my
father, we told him the words of my lord.
01:044:025 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
01:044:026 And 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.
01:044:027 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife
bare me two sons:
01:044:028 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in
pieces; and I saw him not since:
01:044:029 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye
shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
01:044:030 Now 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;
01:044:031 It 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.
01:044:032 For 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.
01:044:033 Now 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.
