OET (OET-RV) But we told him, ‘We can’t go back unless our youngest brother is with us, because we wouldn’t be able to get access to that man if our youngest brother wasn’t with us.’

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.”

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”
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?

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.
