ואשימה עיני עליו. פירש"י וכי זו היא שימת עין שאמרת לשום עינך עליו ולכך נראה לפרש ואשימה עיני עליו שלא תעשה לו רעה: ואשימה עיני עליו, “so that I can see him personally.” Rashi understands this line as a metaphor, as if Yehudah challenges Joseph: ”is this what you call meeting him personally?” We must therefore explain the reason for Joseph having expressed the wish to meet Binyamin personally as a promise to protect him from harm. We certainly did not understand you to mean that you plan to cause him harm.
