" Go again, buy us a little food."
3 But Judah was saying,
" The man solemnly warned us, saying,
' You shall not see my face unless your brother( Benjamin) is with you.'
4 If you will send our brother( Benjamin) with us, we will go down and buy you food.
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man( "the man" is also their brother too Joseph later in Genesis 45:1-3 or Genesis 45:45:1b or Genesis 45:3a " 3 And Joseph said to his brothers(😊❤'s), I am Joseph😊❤! Is my father( Israel😊❤) still alive?"... "( Genesis 45:3a ESV Study Bible)
) said to us,
' You shall not see my face, unless your brother( Benjamin) is with you.' "
6 Israel😊❤ said,
" Why did you treat me so badly as to tell the man that you had another brother( Benjamin )? "
7 They replied, " The man questioned us carefully about ourselves and our kindred, saying,
" Is your father( Israel😊❤) still alive? Do you have another brother( Benjamin😊❤
)?'
What we(😊❤'s) told him ( Joseph) was in answer to these questions. Could we in any way know that he would say,
'Bring your brother down' ? "
8 And Judah 😊❤
said to Israel😊❤ his father, " Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live😊❤ and not die,
both we(😊❤'s) and you😊❤ and also our little ones(😊❤'s).
9 I(Judah😊❤) will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him( Benjamin😊❤)? If I do not bring him back to you( 😊❤) and set him before you( Israel❤😊❤) and let me bear the blame forever.
10 If we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice." "( Genesisb43:1-10 ESV Study Bible)
