And Judah speaketh unto him, saying, `The man protesting protested to us, saying, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;
4
if thou art sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for thee food,
5
and if thou art not sending -- we do not go down, for the man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.'
