Genesis 42:26 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:26

And they laded their asses with the corn
Cattle very fit to carry burdens, and no doubt they had each of them one at least: and departed thence;
from the place where Joseph was, and from the land of Egypt.

Genesis 42:26 In-Context

24 Joseph turned away from them and cried. When he was able to speak again, he took Simeon and had him tied up, making a prisoner of him while they all watched.
25 Then Joseph ordered that their sacks be filled with grain, that their money be put back in each sack, and that they be given rations for the road. That was all done for them.
26 They loaded their food supplies on their donkeys and set off.
27 When they stopped for the night, one of them opened his sack to get food for his donkey; there at the mouth of his bag was his money
28 He called out to his brothers, "My money has been returned; it's right here in my bag!" They were puzzled - and frightened. "What's God doing to us?"
