Genesis 45:21-24

"And the sons of Jacob did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the way. To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way. So he sent his brethren away, and they departed; and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way."

"Three hundred pieces of silver ..." This was a very substantial gift. The price of a slave was thirty shekels of silver (Exodus 21:32); and thus this gift was the equivalent of a gift of ten slaves.

"See that ye fall not out by the way ..." Evidently Joseph here was guarding against the brothers falling into recriminations against each other, some evidence of which had already outcropped in Genesis 42:22. It was actually too late to lay the blame on this one or that one, all were totally guilty, and now the whole ugly episode would have to be poured out in their father's ears.
