19 My master asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or brother?’
20 And we said to my master, ‘Yes, we have an elderly father and a young brother, born when he was old. His brother is dead and he’s his mother’s only child. But his father loves him.’
21 You told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so I can see him.’
22 And we said to my master, ‘The young man can’t leave his father. If he leaves, his father will die.’
23 You said to your servants, ‘If your youngest brother doesn’t come down with you, you’ll never see my face again.’
24 "When we went back to my father your servant, we told him what you said.
25 Our father told us, ‘Go back and buy for us a little food.’
