17 And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go in peace to your father.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thy anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 And we said to 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.
21 And thou saidst to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
22 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
