Make sure your translation of your servant refers here to Judah, not to someone else. Throughout verses 18-34, Judah uses phrases such as “my lord,” “your servant,” and “your servants” to be polite and show respect to Joseph. At each point in these verses, make sure it is clear in your translation whom he is referring to. Alternate translation: “I humbly ask you to let me speak plainly to you.” or “will you please allow me your humble servant to say something to you.”
