[Jeremiah 35:5](../../../kjv/jeremiah/35/5) . **youngest.** This was the fourth step to try them, and to prove whether they were the same brethren still, and would treat Benjamin as they had treated Joseph. **Wherefore.** Figure of speech *Erotesis.* App-6 . Septuagint and Syriac insert "Wherefore then have ye the silver cup? " **divineth.** This was to confirm their belief that Joseph was an Egyptian. Emphasized by Figure of speech *Polyptoton* . Hebrew divining he divineth. **evil.** Hebrew. *R'a'a.* See App-44 . **God forbid.** No word for "God" here. Hebrew = Far be it from thy servants. **let him die.** This was the penalty in the Code of Khammurabi, with which they were acquainted in Canaan (6); death for stealing from a palace. Property more sacred than life. **What . . . ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis* ( App-6 ). **God hath found out.** This confession was what Joseph had been labouring to procure. Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . **iniquity.** Hebrew. *'avon.* See App-44 . **Judah.** He who proposed to sell Joseph and save his life ([Genesis 37:26](../../../kjv/genesis/37/26) , [Genesis 37:27](../../../kjv/genesis/37/27) ), now proposes to remain a bondman for Benjamin. He had already become surety for his Safety ([Genesis 43:8](../../../kjv/genesis/43/8) , [Genesis 43:9](../../../kjv/genesis/43/9) ). **I said.** Here Joseph learned what happened after they had sold him; and how they had deceived their father ([Genesis 37:31](../../../kjv/genesis/37/31) , [Genesis 37:32](../../../kjv/genesis/37/32) ). **my gray hairs.** Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Adjunct). App-6 . = "me, in my old age". **the grave.** Hebrew. *Sheol.* See note on [Genesis 37:35](../../../kjv/genesis/37/35) , and App-35 . The whole phrase is a *Euphemism* ( App-6 ) for "ye will kill me"; so [Genesis 44:31](../../../kjv/genesis/44/31) , "he will die". **life** = soul. Hebrew. *nephesh.* See App-13 . **with us.** Samaritan Pentateuch, Septuagint, and Syriac have the words in the text. **see.** Put by *Metonymy* (of Cause) for the feelings produced by seeing them. Note the *Ellipsis* "see [and grieve over] the evil, "&c. **come.** Hebrew find. Evil is thus personified, by Figure of speech *Prosopopoeia.* ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/44#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 44"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/44#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/44","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 44","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/44#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"men.
