Lexham English Bible

²⁰ And we said to my lord, ‘We have an aged father, and a younger brother, the child of his old age, and his brother died, and he alone remains from his mother, and his father loves him.’ ²¹ Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes upon him.’ ²² Then we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he should leave his father, then he^[a] would die.’
