1 La famine s’appesantissait sur le pays.

2 Quand ils eurent fini de manger le blé qu’ils avaient apporté d’Égypte, Jacob dit à ses fils: Retournez, achetez-nous un peu de vivres.

3 Juda lui répondit: Cet homme nous a fait cette déclaration formelle: Vous ne verrez pas ma face, à moins que votre frère ne soit avec vous.

4 Si donc tu veux envoyer notre frère avec nous, nous descendrons, et nous t’achèterons des vivres.

5 Mais si tu ne veux pas l’envoyer, nous ne descendrons point, car cet homme nous a dit: Vous ne verrez pas ma face, à moins que votre frère ne soit avec vous.
