²⁰ And we answered ·you [^Lmy master/lord], ‘We have an old father. And we have a younger brother, ·who was born when our father was old [^Lof his old age]. ·This youngest son’s [^LHis] brother is dead, so he is the only one of his mother’s children left alive, and ·our [^Lhis] father loves him very much.’ ²¹ Then you said to ·us [^Lyour servants], ‘Bring ·that brother [^Lhim] to me. I want to ·see [^Lset my eyes on] him.’ ²² And we said to ·you [^Lmy master/lord], ‘That young boy cannot leave his father, because if he leaves him, his father would die.’
