20. And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly.
21. And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
22. We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
23. And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
24. Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.
25. And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.
26. And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man's face.
