Genesis 43:3

But Judah said to him, “The man solemnly warned ¹  us, ‘You will not see my face ²  unless your brother is with you.’

Ge 42:15-20,33,34; Ge 43:5; Ge 44:23; 2Sa 3:13; 2Sa 14:24,28,32; Ac 7:34; Ac 20:25,38

¹ tn The infinitive absolute with the finite verb stresses the point. The primary meaning of the verb is “to witness; to testify.” It alludes to Joseph’s oath, which was tantamount to a threat or warning.

² tn The idiom “see my face” means “have an audience with me.”
