Bereshis 42:25 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:25

Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn
Which was as much as they came for: and to restore every man's money into his sack;
the money paid by each for his quantity of corn delivered to him, not into the person's hands, but to be put into his sack privately, and unknown to him; and to give them provision for the way;
sufficient both for themselves and for their cattle, that they might carry the whole of what corn they bought to their families: and thus did he unto them;
that is, not Joseph, but his steward or deputy, or however the servant that he gave the above order to.

25 Then Yosef commanded to fill their kelim with grain, and to restore every man’s kesef into his sack, and to give them provision for the derech; and thus did he unto them.
