Genesis 44:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ And we said to my lord, We have a father—an old man—and a young [brother, the] child of his old age; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s [offspring], and his father loves him.

²¹ And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.

²² And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should do so, his father would die.
