וַיֹּ֛אמֶר עַבְדְּךָ֥ אָבִ֖י אֵלֵ֑ינוּ
and=he/it_said servant,your father,my to,us
See how you translated your servant my father in verse 24. Also notice that the pronoun us does not include Joseph here. Some languages use an exclusive pronoun for this. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Then my father who is your humble servant said to us,” or “Then my father said to us,”

אַתֶּ֣ם יְדַעְתֶּ֔ם כִּ֥י
you_all know that/for/because/then/when
The pronoun “you” is plural here, referring to all the brothers. Alternate translation: “As you all know,”

two she/it_gave_birth to/for=me wife,my
Alternate translation: “my wife Rachel bore only two sons for me.”
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?
