Being able to beg a person in a high position is not easy but I would share how Judah beg Joseph for his junior brother.
While the brothers are thinking about the kidnapping of their junior brother, Judah went up to Joseph and said, O my lord, let your servant, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant.

My lord asks his servant, have you a father, or a brother?
And we said to my lord, we have a father, an old man, and a young brother, the child of his old age, and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him.

You said to your servant, bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him. We said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die. Then you said to your servants unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.

When we went back to your servant my father we told him the words of my lord. And when our father said, Go again, buy us a little food, we said, we cannot go down. If our youngest brother goes with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.

Then your servant my father said to us, you know that my wife bore me two sons, one left me, and I said, surely he has been torn to pieces, and I have never seen him since. If you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring down my gray hairs in sorrow to Sheol.

Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, then, as his life is bound up in the lad's life, when he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die, and your servant will bring down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, if I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame in the sight of my father all my life. Now, therefore, let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go back with his brothers.

Beloved, please let keep on visiting for more updates. Thanks for spending your special time with us.
