Genesis 43:6 in Context — Genesis 43

4 Se enviares a nosso irmão conosco, desceremos e te compraremos alimento:

5 Porém se não lhe enviares, não desceremos: porque aquele homem nos disse: Não vereis meu rosto sem vosso irmão convosco.

6 E disse Israel: Por que me fizestes tanto mal, declarando ao homem que tínheis mais irmão?

7 E eles responderam: Aquele homem nos perguntou expressamente por nós, e por nossa parentela, dizendo: Vive ainda vosso pai? Tendes outro irmão? E lhe declaramos conforme estas palavras. Podíamos nós saber que havia de dizer: Fazei vir a vosso irmão?

8 Então Judá disse a Israel seu pai: Envia ao jovem comigo, e nos levantaremos e iremos, a fim que vivamos e não morramos nós, e tu, e nossos filhos.
