Genesis 44:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ But Judah approached him and begged him, “Your Excellency, please allow your servant to speak to you privately.^[a] Please don’t be angry with your servant, since you are equal to Pharaoh. ¹⁹ Your Excellency asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or brother?’ ²⁰ and we answered Your Excellency, ‘We have an aged father and a younger child who was born when he was old. His brother is now dead, so he’s the only surviving son of his mother. His father loves him.’
