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 began to sob. Then he turned around and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken and tied up right there in front of them.
25 Joseph gave orders to have their bags filled with grain. He had each man's money put back into his sack. He also made sure they were given food for their journey.
26 Then the brothers loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.
27 When night came, they stopped. One of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey. He saw his money in the top of his sack.
28 "My money has been given back," he said to his brothers. "Here it is in my sack." They had a sinking feeling in their hearts. They began to tremble. They turned to each other and said, "What has God done to us?"
