But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.
וְאִם־אֵינְךָ֥ מְשַׁלֵּ֖חַ לֹ֣א נֵרֵ֑ד כִּֽי־הָאִ֞ישׁ אָמַ֤ר אֵלֵ֙ינוּ֙ לֹֽא־תִרְא֣וּ פָנַ֔י בִּלְתִּ֖י אֲחִיכֶ֥ם אִתְּכֶֽם׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
He cautions against the belief that we can proceed without our sibling. If you desire us to venture forth without purpose and expose ourselves to peril, then let us do so. However, be aware that this individual has enchanted us in such a way that we will not gaze upon his countenance unless our younger brother accompanies us.
