5520. 'Cause one brother among you to remain with me' means that faith in the will was to be separated. This is clear from the representation of Simeon, to whom 'one brother' refers here, as faith in the will, dealt with in 5482; and from the meaning of 'causing to remain' as being separated. The implications of all this have been stated already.
