Genesis 44:21-26

21Then you said to your servants, ‘1Bring him down to me so that I may set my eyes on him.’

22But we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, 2his father would die.’

23You said to your servants, however, ‘3Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’

24So it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25And 4our father said, ‘Go back, buy us a little food.’

26But we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’
