Genesis 44:27-29

International Children’s Bible

²⁷ Then my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife Rachel gave me two sons. ²⁸ One son left me. I thought, “Surely he has been torn apart by a wild animal.” And I haven’t seen him since. ²⁹ Now you want to take this son away from me also. But something terrible might happen to him. Then I would be sad until the day I die.’
