“If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:”
If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you. Judah's conditional offer — if you send Benjamin, we will go — puts the decision back where it belongs: with Jacob. The application: the person who makes the condition of compliance clear is the person who respects the authority of the one in charge while being honest about the actual options.
