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, and go back to the man.
14 May God Almighty make him merciful to you so that he will send your other brother and Benjamin [home] with you. If I lose my children, I lose my children."
15 The men took the gifts, twice as much money, and Benjamin. They went to Egypt, where they presented themselves to Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the man in charge of his house, "Take these men to my house. Butcher an animal, and prepare a meal, because they are going to eat with me at noon."
17 So the man did as Joseph said and took them to Joseph's house.
