<p class="bodytext">When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor<n id="1" /> he learned<n id="2" /> what his youngest son had done<n id="3" /> to him.

But you must bring<n id="1" /> your youngest brother to me. Then<n id="2" /> your words will be verified<n id="3" /> and you will not die.&#8221; They did as he said.<n id="4" />p>

But we replied, &#8216;We cannot go down there.<n id="1" /> If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go,<n id="2" /> for we won&#8217;t be permitted to see the man&#8217;s face if our youngest brother is not with us.&#8217;p>

God made two great lights<n id="1" /> &#8211; the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night. He made the stars also.<n id="2" />

Then Rebekah took her older son Esau&#8217;s best clothes, which she had with her in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.

They replied, &#8220;Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers.<n id="1" /> We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time,<n id="2" /> and one is no longer alive.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

You will be tested in this way: As surely as Pharaoh lives,<n id="1" /> you will not depart from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

Then put<n id="1" /> my cup &#8211; the silver cup &#8211; in the mouth of the youngest one&#8217;s sack, along with the money for his grain.&#8221; He did as Joseph instructed.<n id="2" />p>

But you said to your servants, &#8216;If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.&#8217;

<p class="bodytext">When Rebekah heard what her older son Esau had said,<n id="1" /> she quickly summoned<n id="2" /> her younger son Jacob and told him, &#8220;Look, your brother Esau is planning to get revenge by killing you.<n id="3" />

But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know<n id="1" /> that you are honest men and not spies.<n id="2" /> Then I will give your brother back to you and you may move about freely in the land.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">When Joseph looked up<n id="1" /> and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother&#8217;s son, he said, &#8220;Is this your youngest brother, whom you told me about?&#8221; Then he said, &#8220;May God be gracious to you, my son.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">But his father refused and said, &#8220;I know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude<n id="1" /> of nations.&#8221;
