16And Judah said, What are we to say to my lord? how may we put ourselves right in his eyes? God has made clear the sin of your servants: now we are in your hands, we and the man in whose bag your cup was seen.
17Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.
18Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.
19My lord said to his servants, Have you a father or a brother?
20And we said to my lord, We have an old father and a young child, whom he had when he was old; his brother is dead and he is the only son of his mother, and is very dear to his father.
21And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.
22And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.
