וְאַתֶּ֕ם עֲל֥וּ לְשָׁל֖וֹם אֶל אֲבִיכֶֽם
and,you_all go_up in,peace to/towards father,your_all's
The phrase go up refers to the fact that the land of Canaan was higher in elevation than the country of Egypt. Some translations leave up implied. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “But you others may return to your father in peace.” or “As for the rest of you, you may go back home to your father without any trouble.”
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?
