But Judah said to him,“ The man warned us solemnly,‘ You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’

But Judah said to him,“ The man gave us a strong warning. He said,‘ You won’t see my face again unless your brother Benjamin is with you.’

But Judah said to him,“ The man solemnly warned us, saying,‘ You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’

But Judah said to him,“ The man specifically warned us,‘ You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’

Judah spoke to him, however, saying,“ The man sternly warned us,‘ You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’

But Judah spoke to him, saying,“ The man solemnly warned us, saying,‘ You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’

And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

But Judah said to him,“ The man specifically warned us:‘ You will not see me again unless your brother is with you.’

And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother[ be] with you.

But Judah said to him,“ The man solemnly warned us,‘ You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’

Judah spoke to him, saying,“ The man solemnly warned us, saying,‘ You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’

But you told us,‘ Unless your youngest brother comes with you, you will never see my face again.’

But if you don’t let Benjamin go, we won’t go either. Remember, the man said,‘ You won’t see my face again unless your brother is with you.’”

And Absalom replied,“ Because I wanted you to ask the king why he brought me back from Geshur if he didn’t intend to see me. I might as well have stayed there. Let me see the king; if he finds me guilty of anything, then let him kill me.”

“ And now I know that none of you to whom I have preached the Kingdom will ever see me again.

But the king gave this order:“ Absalom may go to his own house, but he must never come into my presence.” So Absalom did not see the king.

This is how I will test your story. I swear by the life of Pharaoh that you will never leave Egypt unless your youngest brother comes here!One of you must go and get your brother. I’ll keep the rest of you here in prison. Then we’ll find out whether or not your story is true. By the life of Pharaoh, if it turns out that you don’t have a younger brother, then I’ll know you are spies.”So Joseph put them all in prison for three days.On the third day Joseph said to them,“ I am a God fearing man. If you do as I say, you will live.If you really are honest men, choose one of your brothers to remain in prison. The rest of you may go home with grain for your starving families.But you must bring your youngest brother back to me. This will prove that you are telling the truth, and you will not die.” To this they agreed.

Absalom lived in Jerusalem for two years, but he never got to see the king.

They were sad most of all because he had said that they would never see him again. Then they escorted him down to the ship.

“ Then the man who is governor of the land told us,‘ This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take grain for your starving families and go on home.But you must bring your youngest brother back to me. Then I will know you are honest men and not spies. Then I will give you back your brother, and you may trade freely in the land.’”

“ All right,” David replied,“ but I will not negotiate with you unless you bring back my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come.”

I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groans and have come down to rescue them. Now go, for I am sending you back to Egypt.’
