Consider what is the best way in your language to order the clauses in this sentence. Alternate translation: “we returned to you the money that we found in our grain sacks last time. We brought it all the way from our home in the land of Canaan!” or “as soon as we came back here from the land of Canaan, we returned to you the money we had discovered inside our grain sacks”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְאֵ֗יךְ נִגְנֹב֙
and,why steal
The brothers use this rhetorical question to strongly emphasize that they would never steal from the servant’s master. Some languages must use a statement or exclamation here instead. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “So why would we ever take” or “So we would never take” or “So there is no reason that we would ever take”
