Génesis 45:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:20

Also regard not your stuff
Or "your vessels" F7, utensils, household goods; he would not have them to be concerned if they could not bring all their goods with them, but were obliged to leave some behind, and which, because of the distance of the way and difficulty of the road, lying through sandy deserts, could not well be brought, since there was enough to be had in the land of Egypt; therefore, as it may be rendered, "let not your eye spare" F8, or "pity": do not be grieved at it, or say it is a pity to leave these good things behind. Some render and explain the words just the reverse, "leave nothing of your household goods" F9; bring all away with you, as if he would not have them think of returning again, but of settling and continuing in Egypt; but this does not so well agree with what follows as the former sense does: for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours:
whatever good things were in it, whether for food or use for themselves, their houses, or their flocks, all were at their service, and they were welcome to them; or the best or most fruitful part of the country was designed for them, and would be given to them, or was at their option.

Génesis 45:20 In-Context

18 Luego vayan a buscar a su padre y a sus familias y vuelvan aquí. Yo les daré la mejor tierra en Egipto, y comerán de lo mejor que esa tierra produce”».
19 Después el faraón le dijo a José: «Diles a tus hermanos: “Lleven carros de Egipto para transportar a sus niños y a sus esposas, y traigan a su padre aquí.
20 No se preocupen por sus bienes personales, pues lo mejor de la tierra de Egipto será de ustedes”».
21 Así que los hijos de Jacob
hicieron lo que se les dijo. José les proporcionó carros, tal como el faraón había ordenado, y les dio provisiones para el viaje.
22 A cada uno le dio ropa nueva, pero a Benjamín le dio cinco mudas de ropa y trescientas monedas
de plata.
