Genesis 45:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:21

And the children of Israel did so
As Pharaoh commanded, and Joseph from him directed them to do: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh:
and beasts, either horses or oxen to draw them, and these not empty, though the principal use of them was to fetch his father and his family, and their goods: and gave them provision for the way:
both going and returning, as much as would suffice for both.

Genesis 45:21 In-Context

19 "Also tell them this: 'Here's what I want you to do: Take wagons from Egypt to carry your little ones and your wives and load up your father and come back.

20 Don't worry about having to leave things behind; the best in all of Egypt will be yours.'"

21 And they did just that, the sons of Israel. Joseph gave them the wagons that Pharaoh had promised and food for the trip.

22 He outfitted all the brothers in brand-new clothes, but he gave Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver and several suits of clothes.

23 He sent his father these gifts: ten donkeys loaded with Egypt's best products and another ten donkeys loaded with grain and bread, provisions for his father's journey back.
