4773. 'And said, We have found this' means that this is what they see it to be. This is clear from the train of thought in the internal sense, for the brothers did not say that it was Joseph's tunic, only that they had 'found this' - leaving it to their father to recognize whether it was his son's tunic. Consequently these words mean that this is what they see it to be.
