Genesis 44:18 in Context — Genesis 44

16 Juda répondit: Que dirons-nous à mon seigneur? Comment parlerons-nous? Comment nous justifierons-nous? Dieu a trouvé l’iniquité de tes serviteurs. Nous voici esclaves de mon seigneur, nous, et celui sur qui s’est trouvée la coupe.

17 Et Joseph dit: Dieu me garde de faire cela! L’homme sur qui la coupe a été trouvée sera mon esclave; mais vous, remontez en paix vers votre père.

18 Alors Juda s’approcha de Joseph, et dit: De grâce, mon seigneur, que ton serviteur puisse faire entendre une parole à mon seigneur, et que sa colère ne s’enflamme point contre ton serviteur! Car tu es comme Pharaon.

19 Mon seigneur a interrogé ses serviteurs, en disant: Avez-vous un père, ou un frère?

20 Nous avons répondu: Nous avons un vieux père, et un jeune frère, enfant de sa vieillesse; cet enfant avait un frère qui est mort, et qui était de la même mère; il reste seul, et son père l’aime.
