21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

5515. 'The sons of our father' means having the same origin. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373, and from the meaning of 'father' as good, dealt with in 2803, 3703, 3704. Consequently 'the sons of our father' means truths springing from good, thus truths having the same origin; they are all truths originating in one and the same good.
