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 And he turned himself away from them and wept; and returned to them again and communed with them, and took from them Simeon and bound him before their eyes.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus did he unto them.
26 And they laded their asses with the corn and departed thence.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender at the inn, he espied his money; for behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored; and lo, it is even in my sack." And their heart failed them and they were afraid, saying one to another, "What is this that God hath done unto us?"
