“And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.”
Then Judah said to Israel his father: send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die. Judah's appeal — so that we and you and our children may live and not die — puts the stakes plainly: this is a survival decision. The application: the leadership of Judah in this moment — naming the survival stakes clearly — is the leadership that moves Jacob past his protective paralysis.
