To bring, in Genesis 37:28, signifies consultation.

As with common verbs in general, the meaning of “bring” is highly dependent on context, but in general it represents an introduction to a new spiritual state or to new ideas.

5543. 'If I do not bring him back to you' means if no joining of the intermediary takes place. This is clear from the representation of Benjamin, to whom the one he would bring back refers here, as the intermediary, dealt with in 5411, 5413, 5443, 5539; and from the meaning of 'bringing back' as being joined.
