Preparing to Return to Egypt
43 Meanwhile, the famine remained severe throughout the region. 2 As a result, when Jacob’s family[a] was beginning to eat the last of the grain that they had brought back from Egypt, their father Jacob[b] told his sons, “Go back to Egypt and buy us some food.”
3 But Judah reminded him, “The man distinctly warned us: ‘You’ll never see my face unless your brother comes with you.’
