ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. Sentence. It is but just; yet I shall only insist on the detention of the culprit. Calmet.—Joseph wished to see whether the marks of attention, which he had shewn to Benjamin, would have excited the envy of his brethren ( Menochius.); and whether they would be concerned for him: thus he would discover their present dispositions. He might wish also to keep his younger brother out of danger, in case they were inclined to persecute him. Bible.
