Genesis 43:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Joseph’s Brothers Go Down to Egypt Again

43 There still wasn’t enough food anywhere in the land. ² After a while Jacob’s family had eaten all the grain the brothers had brought from Egypt. So their father said to them, “Go back. Buy us a little more food.”

³ But Judah said to him, “The man gave us a strong warning. He said, ‘You won’t see my face again unless your brother Benjamin is with you.’
