And it came to pass, when we came unto thy servant my father, &c.] In the land of Canaan: we told him the words of my lord; what he had said to them, particularly respecting Benjamin.
22
and we answered that the boy could not leave his father; if he did, his father would die.
23
Then you said, "You will not be admitted to my presence again unless your youngest brother comes with you.'
24
"When we went back to our father, we told him what you had said.
25
Then he told us to return and buy a little food.
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.'
