Genesis 43:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:15

And the men took the present
Their father directed them to: and they took double money in their hand;
besides what they found in their sacks mouths, which they also carried with them: and Benjamin;
they took him likewise with their father's leave: and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph;
presented themselves to him, and their petitions for more corn, as well as to answer to any questions that should be asked them.

Genesis 43:15 In-Context

13 Take your brother also and go back to the man at once.
14 And may God Almighty grant you mercy before the man so that he will let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
15 So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver, and Benjamin also. They hurried down to Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon.”
17 The man did as Joseph told him and took the men to Joseph’s house.
