and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king’s table.

Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.

και ειπεν, Ας υπαγω, παρακαλω, διοτι η συγγενεια ημων καμνει θυσιαν εν τη πολει· και ο αδελφος μου αυτος παρηγγειλεν εις εμε να παρευρεθω· τωρα λοιπον, εαν ευρηκα χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου, αφες με, παρακαλω, να υπαγω και να ιδω τους αδελφους μου· δια τουτο δεν ηλθεν εις την τραπεζαν του βασιλεως.

And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
