Genesis 44:21-26

21Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him to me so that I can see him.’

22But we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’

23Then you said to your servants, ‘If your younger brother does not come down with you, you will not see me again.’

24“This is what happened when we went back to your servant my father: We reported to him the words of my lord.

25But our father said, ‘Go again, and buy us a little food.’

26We told him, ‘We cannot go down unless our younger brother goes with us. If our younger brother isn’t with us, we cannot see the man.’
