And when Joseph came home
In order to dine, it being noontime: they brought him the present which [was] in their hand into the house;
everyone took a part of it in his hand, and brought it to Joseph in the parlour where he was, and delivered it to him as a present from their father, or from themselves, or it may be as from both: and bowed themselves to him to the earth;
in the most prostrate and humble manner, now again fulfilling his dream, and more completely than before, for now all his eleven brethren were together, signified by the eleven stars in the dream, that made obeisance to him, see ( Genesis 37:9 ) ( 42:6 ) .
