20 And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.
21 And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him.
22 And we said to my lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.
23 But you said to your servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.
24 And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face if our younger brother is not with us.
27 And your servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons;
28 and one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured by wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
29 If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave.
