Genesis 44:21-26

21Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me that I may actually see him.’

22But we said to my lord, ‘The young man cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

23You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes with you, you shall not see my face again.’

24So when we went back to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.

25Our father said, ‘Go back [to Egypt], and buy us a little food.’

26But we said, ‘We cannot go down [to Egypt]. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down [there]; for we [were sternly told that we] cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’
