Bring your youngest brother to me: see verse 20.

I will deliver to you your brother: that is, “I will let you have your brother back.” Joseph meant this, but according to verse 20 he did not say it.

And you shall trade in the land: for trade see 34.10. This remark was never made by Joseph to the brothers in the narrative we have in verses 6-25. Trade in the land is expressed in a number of different ways by translators; for example, “you will be free to travel around in this country” and “you can stay in the country and engage in business.”
