24. And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25. And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
26. But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.
27. And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons;
28. and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him again hitherto.
29. And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol.
30. And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, --seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
31. it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not there, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
