Genesis 44:22
Douay-Rheims
We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
Sforno
(1) THE BOY CANNOT LEAVE HIS FATHER. From the time he leaves the loving attention of his father and his attentive countenance, he will become sad and will take to his bed or die. (2) IF HE WERE TO LEAVE HIM, HE WOULD DIE. And with that, his father would certainly die.
