Genesis 44:28

28 One of them has already left me. He must have been torn to pieces by wild animals, because I have not seen him since he left.

Genesis 44:28 In-Context

26 We answered, "We cannot go; we will not be admitted to the man's presence unless our youngest brother is with us. We can go only if our youngest brother goes also.'
27 Our father said to us, "You know that my wife Rachel bore me only two sons.
28 One of them has already left me. He must have been torn to pieces by wild animals, because I have not seen him since he left.
29 If you take this one from me now and something happens to him, the sorrow you would cause me would kill me, as old as I am.'
30 "And now, sir," Judah continued, "if I go back to my father without the boy, as soon as he sees that the boy is not with me, he will die. His life is wrapped up with the life of the boy, and he is so old that the sorrow we would cause him would kill him.
