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
And thou saidst to thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24
And it came to pass, when we came to thy servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25
And our father said, Go again; buy us a little food.
26
And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother shall be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother shall [be] with us.
