Genesis 44:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

Judah Defends Benjamin

¹⁸ Then Judah went up to Joseph and said, “Please, sir, let me speak openly with you. Don’t be angry with me, although you are equal to Pharaoh. ¹⁹ Sir, you asked us, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’ ²⁰ We answered, ‘We have a father who is old and a younger brother born to him when he was already old. The boy’s brother is dead, so he’s the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
