And his father loveth him. Then said my lord unto his
servants bring him unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. And
we answered my lord, that the lad could not go from his father,
for if he should leave his father, he were but a dead man. Then
saidest thou unto thy servants: except your youngest brother come
with you, look that ye see my face no more. And when we came unto
thy servant our father, we shewed him what my lord had said. And
when our father said unto us, go again and buy us a little food:
we said, that we could not go. Nevertheless if our youngest
brother go with us then will we go, for we may not see the man's
face, except our youngest brother be with us. Then said thy
servant our father unto us. Ye know that my wife bare me two sons.
And the one went out from me and it is said of a surety that he is
torn in pieces of wild beasts, and I saw him not since. If ye
shall take this also away from me and some misfortune happen upon
him, then shall ye bring my gray head with sorrow unto the grave.
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, if the lad be
not with me: seeing that his life hangeth by the lad's life, then
as soon as he seeth that the lad is not come, he will die.
