Genesis 43:8

Judah said unto his father He, on account of his age, prudence, and penitent carriage for his youthful follies, was much beloved and regarded by his father, and, on this occasion, was likely to have the greatest influence in persuading him. Send the lad with me So he terms him, because he was the youngest of all, though he was now thirty years old, and a father of divers children.
