And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
Ellos respondieron: 'El hombre nos preguntó detalladamente sobre nuestra familia y nuestros parientes, diciendo: ¿Vive aún su padre? ¿Tienen otro hermano?' Le respondimos conforme a sus preguntas. ¿Cómo podíamos saber que él diría: Traigan a su hermano?'
Los hermanos explicaron que solo respondieron honestamente las preguntas del gobernador, sin saber que después les pediría traer a Benjamín.
