Genesis 43:1

GENESIS CHAPTER 43 The famine continuing, and their provision being spent, Jacob commands them to go again to Egypt, Genesis 43:1,2. They prevail with their father to send Benjamin: Judah undertakes for him, Genesis 43:3. He gives them presents, double money, and his blessing, Genesis 43:11. They go to Egypt; stand before Joseph, Genesis 43:15. He seeing Benjamin with them, causeth them to be brought to his house, and entertained, Genesis 43:16,17; whereat they are afraid, and make an apology to the steward about their money, Genesis 43:18. He bids them good cheer, useth them courteously, brings Simeon to them, Genesis 43:23,24. They prepare to bring their presents to Joseph, who speaks kindly to them, (and asks them of their father,) especially to Benjamin, with whom he is so moved that he must retire to weep, Genesis 43:25. He feasts them, but Benjamin in an especial manner, Genesis 43:31. No text from Poole on this verse.
