Genesis 44:22-26 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. And we said to you, ‘That young boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves him, his father would die.’

23. But you said to us, ‘You must bring your youngest brother. If you don’t, you will not be allowed to see me again.’

24. So we went back to our father and told him what you had said.

25. “Later, our father said, ‘Go again. Buy us a little more food.’

26. We said to our father, ‘We cannot go without our youngest brother. Without our youngest brother, we will not be allowed to see the governor.’
