take of the best fruits ... a present - It is an Oriental practice never to approach a man of power without a present, and Jacob might remember how he pacified his brother (Pro 21:14) - balm, spices, and myrrh (see on Gen 37:25),

honey - which some think was dibs, a syrup made from ripe dates [Bochart]; but others, the honey of Hebron, which is still valued as far superior to that of Egypt;

nuts - pistachio nuts, of which Syria grows the best in the world;

almonds - which were most abundant in Palestine.
