Genesis 43:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 43:15

And the men took the present
Their father directed them to: and they took double money in their hand;
besides what they found in their sacks mouths, which they also carried with them: and Benjamin;
they took him likewise with their father's leave: and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph;
presented themselves to him, and their petitions for more corn, as well as to answer to any questions that should be asked them.

Genesis 43:15 In-Context

13 Take your brother also, and arise, go back to the man.
14 And may God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved!"
15 So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Take these men to my home, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon."
17 Then the man did as Joseph ordered, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
