- 19My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Have you a father, or a brother?'
- 20We said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.'
- 21You said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'

- 23You said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.'
- 24It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
- 25Our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
- 26We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, unless our youngest brother is with us.'

- 27Your servant, my father, said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons:
- 28and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces;" and I haven't seen him since.
- 29If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.'
- 30Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the boy's life;
- 31it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.
- 32For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I don't bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'
- 33Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
- 34For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn't with me? Lest I see the evil that will come on my father."
