19 You asked us if our father was still alive and if we had any more brothers.
20 So we told you, “Our father is a very old man. In fact, he was already old when Benjamin was born. Benjamin's brother is dead. Now Benjamin is the only one of the two brothers who is still alive, and our father loves him very much.”
21 You ordered us to bring him here, so you could see him for yourself.
22 We told you that our father would die if Benjamin left him.
23 But you warned us that we could never see you again, unless our youngest brother came with us.
24 So we returned to our father and reported what you had said.
25 Later our father told us to come back here and buy more grain.
