In context
23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’
