Translation: They said: "By Allah. indeed has Allah preferred you
above us, and we certainly have been guilty of
sin!" 1767
Commentary:
1767 The scales fall from the eyes of the brothers. We may suppose that they had
joined Judah at this interview, and perhaps what Judah had seen when he was
alone helped in the process of their enlightenment. They are convicted of sin out
of their own mouths, and now there is no arrier pensee, no reserve thought, in
their minds. They freely confess their wrongdoing, and the justice of Joseph's
preferment.
