“And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.”
And they replied: your servants were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more. The disclosure of the full family — twelve brothers, youngest with father, one is no more — is the self-revealing response the test was designed to produce. The application: the family status is now on the table — Benjamin is alive, and the brothers acknowledge the absent one.
