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 returned and spoke to them. And he picked out Simeon and had him bound before their eyes.
25 Joseph then gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to return every man's money to his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. This was done for them.
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed.
27 When one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money at the top of the sack.
28 He said to his brothers, "My money has been put back; here it is in my sack!" At this they lost heart and turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"
