Genesis 44:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ We answered, ‘We cannot go; we will not be admitted to the man's presence unless our youngest brother is with us. We can go only if our youngest brother goes also.’ ²⁷ Our father said to us, ‘You know that my wife Rachel bore me only two sons. ²⁸ One of them has already left me. He must have been torn to pieces by wild animals, because I have not seen him since he left.
