Genesis 43:5-7
The Voice
5 But if you won’t allow him to go, we will not go either because the man clearly told us, “You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.”
Jacob: 6 Why did you do this to me? Why did you tell this man you had another brother?
Joseph’s Brothers: 7 The man questioned us about every detail of ourselves and our relatives. He asked if our father was still alive and if we had another brother. What we told him was only in answer to all of his questions. How could we in any way know he would tell us to bring our brother down there?
