23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24 When we went back to your servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 “Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
26 We said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down, for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
27 “Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he was torn in pieces,” and I have not seen him since.
29 And if you take this one also from me and he is harmed, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.’
