Genesis 44:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ We answered, ‘We have a father who is old and a younger brother born to him when he was already old. The boy’s brother is dead, so he’s the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’

²¹ “Then you said to us, ‘Bring him here to me so that I can see him myself.’ ²² We replied, ‘The boy can’t leave his father. If the boy leaves him, his father will die.’
