International Standard Version

²¹ “But then you ordered your servants, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him for myself.’ ²² So we told Your Excellency, ‘The young man cannot leave his father, because if he were to do so, his father would die.’ ²³ But then you told your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes back with you, you won’t see my face again.’
