And he said to them, “No, you have come to see the land in its nakedness!”

Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set eyes on him.’ We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he were to leave him, his father would die.’ But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, do not let me see your faces.’ When we came back to your servant my father, we reported my lord’s words to him. “Later our father said, ‘Go back and procure some food for us.’ We answered, ‘We cannot go down; only if our youngest brother is with us can we go down…

Genesis 44:21-26

Genesis 44:27-29

And Israel said, “Why did you serve me so ill as to tell the man that you had another brother?” They replied, “But the man kept asking about us and our family, saying, ‘Is your father still living?

The prophecy of Obadiah.
We have received tidings from GOD,
And an envoy has been sent out among the nations:
“Up! Let us rise up against her for battle.”
Thus said the Sovereign GOD concerning Edom: I will make you least among nations,
You shall be most despised.…

But progeny born to you after them shall be yours; they shall be recorded instead of their brothers in their inheritance.
