OET (OET-RV) If we hadn’t sat around here doing nothing for so long, certainly by now we could have been there and back twice!”

that/for/because/then/when if_~_not delayed
This sentence refers to something that could have happened, but did not actually happen. Consider what is the best way to translate this contrary-to-fact statement in your language. Alternate translation: “As it is, if we had not delayed such a long time,” or “In any case, if we had not delayed this long,”
כִּֽי עַתָּ֥ה שַׁ֖בְנוּ זֶ֥ה פַעֲמָֽיִם
that/for/because/then/when by_now returned this twice
Alternate translation: “certainly we could have made two round trips there and back by now.” or “we certainly would have had enough time to go down there and back two times already.”
43:8-10 Judah broke the deadlock by taking responsibility for Benjamin’s well-being, thus succeeding where Reuben failed. His action was fitting, since it had been his idea to sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites (37:26-27) instead of killing him. Now he would secure Benjamin’s safety with his own life (see 44:18-34).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
