Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.
וַיֹּ֧אמֶר אֵלָ֛יו יְהוּדָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר הָעֵ֣ד הֵעִד֩ בָּ֨נוּ הָאִ֤ישׁ לֵאמֹר֙ לֹֽא־תִרְא֣וּ פָנַ֔י בִּלְתִּ֖י אֲחִיכֶ֥ם אִתְּכֶֽם׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
Do not assume, he states, that we can journey there without our sibling. However, if you desire us to proceed aimlessly and risk our safety, then we shall go. Yet, be aware that this individual has cast a curse upon us, ensuring we will not behold his visage unless our younger brother accompanies us.
