Genesis 44:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ We answered, ‘We have an old father. A young son was born to him when he was old. His brother is dead. He’s the only one of his mother’s sons left. And his father loves him.’

²¹ “Then you said to us, ‘Bring him down to me. I want to see him for myself.’ ²² We said to you, ‘The boy can’t leave his father. If he does, his father will die.’
