“But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.”
But if you will not send him, we will not go down, because the man said to us, you will not see my face again unless your brother is with you. The alternative — we will not go — is the honest statement of the consequence of Jacob's refusal. The family will starve if Benjamin stays. The application: the honest statement of the consequence of a decision — including the worst consequence — is the honest communication that allows the decision-maker to choose with full information.
