20. We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’
21. You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
22. We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
23. You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
24. When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25. Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’
26. We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
