Bereshis 43:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:24

And the man brought the men into Joseph's house
After the above discourse had passed between them, and he had made their minds easy, both with respect to the money, and by bringing Simeon unbound to them: and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet;
which was usually done in the eastern countries after travelling, and when about to take a meal, and was both for refreshment and cleanliness: and he gave their asses provender;
thus were they hospitably entertained, they and all that belonged to them.

22 And kesef acher (other money) have we brought down in our hands to buy ochel; we cannot tell who put our kesef in our sacks.

23 And he said, Shalom lachem, fear not; Eloheichem, and Elohei Avichem, hath given you matmon (treasure) in your sacks; I had your kesef. And he brought Shimon out unto them.

24 And the ish brought the anashim into the house of Yosef, and gave them mayim, and they washed their raglayim; and he gave their chamorim mispo (fodder).
