Genesis 44:24-26
New English Translation
24 When we returned to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 “Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.’ 26 But we replied, ‘We cannot go down there.[a] If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go,[b] for we won’t be permitted to see the man’s face if our youngest brother is not with us.’
