Génesis 43:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:6

And Israel said
In answer to the speech of Judah: wherefore dealt ye [so] ill with me;
had done that which brought so much evil upon him, gave him so much grief and trouble, and threw him into such perplexity and distress, that he knew not what to do, or course to take: [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
which he thought was done imprudently and unadvisedly, and that there was no need of it; which, had it not been done, would have prevented this anxiety of mind he was now in, and the mischief he feared would follow.

Génesis 43:6 In-Context

4 Si envías a nuestro hermano con nosotros, descenderemos y compraremos alimento;
5 pero si no lo envías, no descenderemos; porque el hombre nos dijo: "No veréis mi rostro si vuestro hermano no está con vosotros."
6 Entonces Israel respondió: ¿Por qué me habéis tratado tan mal, informando al hombre que teníais un hermano más?
7 Pero ellos dijeron: El hombre nos preguntó específicamente acerca de nosotros y nuestros familiares, diciendo: "¿Vive aún vuestro padre? ¿Tenéis otro hermano?" Y nosotros contestamos sus preguntas. ¿Acaso podíamos nosotros saber que él diría: "Traed a vuestro hermano"?
8 Y Judá dijo a su padre Israel: Envía al muchacho conmigo, y nos levantaremos e iremos, para que vivamos y no perezcamos, tanto nosotros como tú y nuestros pequeños.
