18Then Judah came near to him, and said, "Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord`s ears, and don`t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
19My lord asked his servants, saying, `Have you a father, or a brother?`
20We 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 loves him.`
21You said to your servants, `Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.`
22We said to my lord, `The boy can`t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.`
23You said to your servants, `Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.`
24It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
