Radak on Genesis
!כי מששת...שים כה, “please list all your complaints against me in front of all my family and your family. The people whom Yaakov referred to as אחי, “my brothers,” in this verse were the shepherds in his employ who were his brothers vocationally speaking, being members of the same guild.

Let them determine who is right. The meaning of this expression is similar to (24:14), “The girl will be the one whom You have determined (הוכחת) for your servant.” Its meaning is not similar to (21:25), “Avraham then reprimanded (והוכיח) Avimelech.” For if so, it should have said ויוכיחו אותנו.
