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 get going. Go back to the man.
14 And may The Strong God give you grace in that man's eyes so that he'll send back your other brother along with Benjamin. For me, nothing's left; I've lost everything."
15 The men took the gifts, double the money, and Benjamin. They lost no time in getting to Egypt and meeting Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw that they had Benjamin with them, he told his house steward, "Take these men into the house and make them at home. Butcher an animal and prepare a meal; these men are going to eat with me at noon."
17 The steward did what Joseph had said and took them inside.
