19 My lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
20 We said to my lord, ‘We have an aged father, and there is a young boy who was born when our father was old. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’
21 “Then you told your servants, ‘Bring him down to me so I can see him.’
22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.’
23 But you said to your servants, ‘If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24 When we returned to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 “Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.’
