Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Genesis 44:24
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
And it came to pass, when we came unto thy servant my father,…. In the land of Canaan:
we told him the words of my lord; what he had said to them, particularly respecting Benjamin.

“And it happened, when we came up to your servant my father we told him the words of my lord, and our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’ And we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us then we will go down. For we cannot see the Man’s face except our youngest brother be with us.’ ”
This verse strongly confirms the suggestion that ‘The Man’ is an important title. Judah would hardly have described the Egyptian Vizier simply as ‘the man’ when speaking in his presence. Compare his obsequiousness elsewhere.
