Genesis 44:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Judah Pleads for Benjamin’s Release

¹⁸ Then Judah stepped up to him and said, ‘O my lord, let your servant please speak a word in my lord’s ears, and do not be angry with your servant; for you are like Pharaoh himself. ¹⁹ My lord asked his servants, saying, “Have you a father or a brother?” ²⁰ And we said to my lord, “We have a father, an old man, and a young brother, the child of his old age. His brother is dead; he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.”
