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 said to my lord, 'The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
23
But you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.'
24
So it was, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my lord.
25
And our father said, 'Go back and buy us a little food.'
26
But we said, 'We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
