Genesis 43:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:13

Take also your brother

the governor of Egypt, to buy corn of him.

Genesis 43:13 In-Context

11 Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry them down as a present to the man—a little balm and a little honey, gum, resin, pistachio nuts, and almonds.

12 Take double the money with you. Carry back with you the money that was returned in the top of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.

13 Take your brother also, and be on your way again to the man;

14 may God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, so that he may send back your other brother and Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

15 So the men took the present, and they took double the money with them, as well as Benjamin. Then they went on their way down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
