Genesis 42:26 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:26

And they laded their asses with the corn
Cattle very fit to carry burdens, and no doubt they had each of them one at least: and departed thence;
from the place where Joseph was, and from the land of Egypt.

Genesis 42:26 In-Context

24 He turned away from them and wept. Then he turned back and spoke to them. He took Simeon from them and had him bound before their eyes.
25 Joseph then gave orders to fill their containers with grain, return each man's money to his sack, and give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out.
26 They loaded the grain on their donkeys and left there.
27 At the place where they lodged for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his money there at the top of the bag.
28 He said to his brothers, "My money has been returned! It's here in my bag." Their hearts sank. Trembling, they turned to one another and said, "What is this that God has done to us?"
