Genesis 43:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “But if you will not send him, we will not go down. For the man said to us, ‘Do not look me in the face unless your brother is with you.’”

⁶ And Israel said, “Why have you dealt so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you still had a brother or not?”

⁷ And they answered, “The man directly asked about us and about our family, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have any other brothers?’ And we told him as we have said. Could we have known for certain that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?”
