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 unto my lord, `The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, `Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.'
24
And it came to pass, when we came up unto thy servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25
And our father said, `Go again, and buy us a little food.'
26
And we said, `We cannot go down. If our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down, for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
