Genesis 44:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 44:27

And thy servant my father said unto us
When thus pressed to let Benjamin go with them: ye know that my wife bare me two [sons];
Rachel, by whom he had Joseph and Benjamin, and whom he calls his wife, she being his only lawful wife; Leah was imposed upon him, ( Genesis 29:20-30 ) ; and the other two were concubines, ( Genesis 30:4 Genesis 30:9 ) .

Genesis 44:27 In-Context

25 "Later, our father said, 'Go again and buy us a little more food.'

26 We said to our father, 'We cannot go without our youngest brother. Without our youngest brother, we will not be allowed to see the governor.'

27 Then my father said to us, 'You know that my wife Rachel gave me two sons.

28 When one son left me, I thought, "Surely he has been torn apart by a wild animal," and I haven't seen him since.

29 Now you want to take this son away from me also. But something terrible might happen to him, and I would be miserable until the day I die.'
