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
We replied, 'The boy can't leave his father. If the boy leaves him, his father will die.'
23
Then you told us, 'If your youngest brother doesn't come here with you, you will never be allowed to see me again.'
24
When we went back to our father, we told him what you had said.
25
"Then our father said, 'Go back and buy us a little more food.'
26
We answered, 'We can't go back. We can only go back if our youngest brother is with us. The man won't see us unless our youngest brother is with us.'
