Expanded Bible

⁵ But if you ·refuse to send Benjamin [^Lare not sending], we will not go. The ·governor of that country [^Lman] ·warned [^Lsaid to] us that ·we would not see him if we didn’t bring Benjamin with us [^Lyou will not see my face unless your brother is with you].”

⁶ Israel [^Canother name for Jacob; 32:28] said, “Why did you tell the man you had another brother? You have ·caused me a lot of trouble [wronged/harmed me].”

⁷ The brothers answered, “He questioned us ·carefully [or specifically] about ourselves and our family. He asked us, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ We just answered his questions. How could we know he would ask us to bring our other brother to him?”
