20 And we said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, ^eand a young brother, ^fthe child of his old age. His brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’

27 Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me ^ktwo sons. 28 One left me, and I said, ^l“Surely he has been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since. 29 If you ^mtake this one also from me, ⁿand harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs in evil to Sheol.’
