Genesis 43:27

Genesis 43:27. Is your father well, &c.— Houbigant renders it, Is your father well, who, ye told me, was yet alive? They answered, Our father is well; for he is yet alive. Nothing can be more tender and affecting than this scene. He calls Benjamin, my son, Gen 43:29 which was a courteous appellation, wherewith superiors usually saluted those beneath them.
