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 arise, return to the man;
14 and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."
15 So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward , "Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon."
17 So the man did as Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph's house.
