Genesis 44:20
Douay-Rheims
And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly.
Sforno
AND HIS FATHER LOVES HIM. More than all of us, and thus he did not let him come with us initially. And that is why he was not with us, and not that we sent him to spy, as you thought.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
