1 There still wasn't enough food anywhere in the land.
2 After a while Jacob's family had eaten all of 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 comes with you.'
4 So send our brother along with us. Then we'll go down and buy food for you.
5 "If you won't send him, we won't go down. The man said to us, 'You won't see my face again unless your brother comes with you.' "
6 Israel asked, "Why did you bring this trouble to me? Why did you tell the man you had another brother?"
