Genesis 44:20-34

CLV(i) 20 And said we to my lord, `Forsooth, we have a father, old, and a boy of his old age, the small and his brother is dead, and left is he alone of his mother, and his father loves him. 21 And said you to your servants, `Bring him down to me that I may place my eyes upon him.. 22 And said we to my lord, "The youth cannot leave his father. And, leaves he his father, he also will die.. 23 Yet you said to your servants, `Should not your small brother come down with you, you shall not continue to see my face.. 24 And coming is it that we went up to your servant, our father, and we told him the words of my lord. 25 And saying is our father, `Return. Purchase for us a little food.. 26 And said we, `We cannot go down. Should, forsooth, our small brother go down with us, then we will go down, for we cannot see the man's face if our small brother is not with us.. 27 And saying is your servant, our father, to us, `You know that two were borne for me by my wife. 28 And forth is one faring from me. And saying am I, "Yea, as prey is he torn to pieces!"And not seen him have I hitherto. 29 And take this one, moreover, from before my face, and a mishap befalls him on the way, down will you bring my gray hairs by evil to the unseen.. 30 And now, as I come to your servant, our father, and the youth is not with us, when his soul is tied to his soul, 31 and it comes as he sees that no youth is with us, he will die, and down will your servants bring the gray hairs of your servant, our father, by affliction to the unseen. 32 For your servant became surety for the youth with my father, saying, `Should I not bring him to you and set him before you, I sin against my father all my days.. 33 And now, dwell, pray, will your servant, instead of the youth, a servant to my lord, and the youth shall go up with his brothers. 34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the youth is not with us, lest I shall see the evil which will find my father?
