Gen 44:15 Joseph said to them, What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?
Gen 44:16 Judah said, What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
Gen 44:17 He said, Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
Judah Pleads with Joseph

Gen 44:18 Then 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.
Gen 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
Gen 44:20 We 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’.
Gen 44:21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him’.
Gen 44:22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die’.
Gen 44:23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more’.
Gen 44:24 It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Gen 44:25 Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food’.
Gen 44:26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us’.
Gen 44:27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons:
Gen 44:28 and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I haven’t seen him since.
Gen 44:29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol’.
Gen 44:30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;
Gen 44:31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.
Gen 44:32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever’.
Gen 44:33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Gen 44:34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?--lest I see the evil that will come on my father.
