TSNTyndale Study Notes:

44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?


UTNuW Translation Notes:

לֹ֥א נוּכַ֖ל לָ⁠רֶ֑דֶת אִם יֵשׁ֩ אָחִ֨י⁠נוּ הַ⁠קָּטֹ֤ן אִתָּ֨⁠נוּ֙ וְ⁠יָרַ֔דְנוּ

not we_can to,go_down if is brother,our the=small(sg) with,us and,go_down

See how you translated “… down” in verses 21 and 23. Alternate translation: “We can only go down there if our youngest brother is with us.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

כִּי לֹ֣א נוּכַ֗ל לִ⁠רְאוֹת֙ פְּנֵ֣י הָ⁠אִ֔ישׁ

that/for/because/then/when not able to=see face/surface_of the=man

The phrase the man’s face refers to the governor (Joseph) himself. Translate this in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “We will not be allowed to go to the man who sells grain there” or “The man who sells grain there will not permit us to see him again”
