The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 43:12

And take double money (literally, money of a second, i.e. of the same, amount; not twice as much as the first time, but simply as much as the first time) in your hand; and the money that was brought again (or returned) in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight (literally, a something caused to wander, a mistake, from a root signifying to go astray). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 43:13-14

Take also your brother , and arise, go again unto the man: and God Almighty —El Shaddai, the covenant God of Abraham ( Genesis 17:1 ), and of Jacob himself ( Genesis 35:11 )— give you mercy (literally, bowels, hence very tender affection, the inward parts being regarded as the seat of the emotions) before the man, that he may send away— literally, and he shall send with you {Kalisch), or for you (Keil)— your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 43:11

Genesis 43:11. If it must be so now, take your brother If no corn can be had but upon those terms, as good expose him to the perils of the journey, as suffer ourselves and families, and Benjamin among the rest, to perish for want of bread: it is no fault, but our wisdom and duty, to alter our resolutions, when there is a good reason for so doing: constancy is a virtue, but obstinacy is not: it is God’s prerogative to make unchangeable resolves. read more

Genesis 43:12. Take double money As much again as they took the time before, upon supposition that the price of corn might be risen, or that, if it should be insisted upon, they might pay a ransom for Simeon: And he sent a present of such things as the land afforded, and were scarce in Egypt, the commodities that Canaan exported. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:1-34

Joseph and his brothers (42:1-45:28)When Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, Joseph recognized them but they did not recognize him (42:1-8).

His apparently harsh treatment of them, mixed with kindness, was designed to stir their consciences. They realized they were being punished for their unjust... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 43:11

Genesis 43:11. Take of the best fruits— Of the most rare and excellent productions of the land of Canaan; in the Hebrew, of the praise of the land. The authors of the Universal History observe, that "it is to be feared the generality of our expositors have not been very happy in their translation of some of the presents which Jacob sent into AEgypt; which has induced some learned critics, of a later date, to endeavour to give us a more rational account of them." Such were the honey, nuts, and... read more
