Commentary on the Bible (1832)

That it is my mouth that speaketh unto you - The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel renders the place thus: - “Your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my own mouth that speaketh with you, in the language of the house of the sanctuary.” Undoubtedly Joseph laid considerable stress on his speaking with them in the Hebrew tongue, without the assistance of an interpreter, as in the case mentioned Gen 42:23.
