## Genesis 44:22-26 in Context (Verses 19–29 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/genesis/44/19) My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/44/20) And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/44/21) And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/44/22) And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for *if* he should leave his father, *his father* would die.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/44/23) And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/44/24) And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/44/25) And our father said, Go again, *and* buy us a little food.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/44/26) And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother *be* with us.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/genesis/44/27) And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two *sons:*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/genesis/44/28) And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
 
 [29 ](/kjv/genesis/44/29) And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
 
[Genesis 43](/kjv/genesis/43) [Genesis 45](/kjv/genesis/45)
