Bereshis 44:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 44:3

As soon as the morning was light
When it was break of day, before the sun rose: the men were sent away, they and their asses;

Bereshis 44:3 In-Context

1 4 And he commanded the ish over Bais Yosef, saying, Fill the sacks of the anashim with ochel, as much as they can carry, and put kesef ish in the mouth of his sack.

2 And put my cup, gevi’a hakesef (cup of silver), in the mouth of the sack of the katon, and his kesef for shever (grain). And he did according to the davar Yosef had spoken.

3 As soon as the boker ohr, the anashim were sent away, they and their chamorim.

4 And when they were gone out of the ir, and not yet far off, Yosef said unto the ish over Bais Yosef, Up, follow after the anashim; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded ra’ah for tovah?

5 Is not this it in which adoni drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? Ye have done ra’ah in so doing.
