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
But we said to you, ‘My lord, the boy cannot leave his father, for his father would die.’
23
But you told us, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes with you, you will never see my face again.’
24
“So we returned to your servant, our father, and told him what you had said.
25
Later, when he said, ‘Go back again and buy us more food,’
26
we replied, ‘We can’t go unless you let our youngest brother go with us. We’ll never get to see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’
