Yusuf's Brothers consult Each Other in Confidence; the Advice Their Eldest Brother gave Them Allah tells:فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْأَسُواْ مِنْهُ خَلَصُواْ نَجِيًّاSo, when they despaired of him, they consulted in private.Allah narrates to us that Yusuf's brothers were desperate because they could not secure the release of their brother Binyamin, even though they had given a promise and sworn to their father to bring him back. They were unable to fulfill their promise to their father, so, خَلَصُو (in private), away from people's eyes, نَجِيًّا (they consulted), among themselves,قَالَ كَبِيرُ The eldest among them said,and his name, as we mentioned, was Rubil, or Yahudha. He was the one among them who recommended throwing Yusuf into a well, rather than killing him. So Rubil said to them,هُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّهِKnow you not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's Name, that you will return Binyamin to him. However, you were not able to fulfill this promise. وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِي يُوسُفَand before this you did fail in your duty with Yusuf.فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الَارْضَTherefore I will not leave this land,I will not leave Egypt,حَتَّىَ يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِيuntil my father permits me,allows me to go back to him while he is pleased with me,أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللّهُ لِيor Allah decides my case,by using the sword, or, they says; by allowing me to secure the release of my brother,وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَand He is the Best of the judges.He next ordered them to narrate to their father what happened so that they could present their excuse about that happened to Binyamin and as claim their innocence before him
