Tafsir of verse 60

Al-Mukhtasar

Joseph told them that if they did not bring the brother asked for, then it would be clear that they were not telling the truth in their claim that they had a brother on their father’s side. He told them that in that case he would not give them any measure of food, and they should not approach his country.

And if ye bring him not unto me, then there shall be no measure for you with me, nor shall ye draw near.

"Now if ye bring him not to me, ye shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall ye (even) come near me."
