We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father; for if he leave him, he will die.
Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him):
But he said: My son shall not go down with you. His brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to hell.
And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
