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.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse occurs during a severe famine in the ancient Near East, where Jacob's sons are returning to Egypt to buy grain after their first visit. They are interacting with Joseph, the Egyptian governor whom they do not recognize as their brother sold into slavery years earlier, and he is questioning them about their family to test their honesty and reveal their past actions. This moment is part of the larger biblical narrative of God's providence, leading to the eventual reconciliation of the family.
