20 Y nosotros respondimos á mi señor: Tenemos un padre anciano, y un mozo que le nació en su vejez, pequeño [aún]; y un hermano suyo murió, y él quedó solo de su madre, y su padre lo ama.
21 Y tú dijiste á tus siervos: Traédmelo, y pondré mis ojos sobre él.
22 Y nosotros dijimos á mi señor: El mozo no puede dejar á su padre, porque si le dejare, su padre morirá.
23 Y dijiste á tus siervos: Si vuestro hermano menor no descendiere con vosotros, no veáis más mi rostro.
24 Aconteció pues, que como llegamos á mi padre tu siervo, contámosle las palabras de mi señor.
