Genesis 44:21

¹⁹Sir, thou askedst thy servants, saying, Have ye a father or a brother?

²⁰And 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.

— Genesis 44:21 —

²²And 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.

²³But thou saidst to thy servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, ye shall not see my face again.
