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 say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;
23
and thou sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.
24
`And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
25
and our father saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food,
26
and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man's face, and our young brother not with us.
