Genesis 44:21-26

21“Then you said to us, ‘Bring him here to me so that I can see him myself.’

22We replied, ‘The boy can’t leave his father. If the boy leaves him, his father will die.’

23Then you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn’t come here with you, you will never be allowed to see me again.’

24When we went back to our father, we told him what you had said.

25“Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little more food.’

26We answered, ‘We can’t go back. We can only go back if our youngest brother is with us. The man won’t see us unless our youngest brother is with us.’
