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
So we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
23
But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your younger brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’
24
Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
25
Then our father said, ‘Go back and buy us some food.’
26
But we answered, ‘We cannot go down there unless our younger brother goes with us. So if our younger brother is not with us, we cannot see the man.’
