Genesis 44:20-23 ▼

20 and we answered Your Excellency, 'We have an aged father and a younger child who was born when he was old. His brother is now dead, so he's the only surviving son of his mother. His father loves him.'

21 |But then you ordered your servants, 'Bring him here to me so I can see him for myself.'

22 So we told Your Excellency, 'The young man cannot leave his father, because if he were to do so, his father would die.'

23 But then you told your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes back with you, you won't see my face again.'
