22. We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
23. Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not see my face again.’
24. “When we went back to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25. And when our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food,’
26. we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother goes with us, then we will go down. For we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’
27. Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
28. One left me, and I said, “Surely he has been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since.
29. If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs in evil to Sheol.’
