This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_43:2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Ver. 2. Buy us a little food.] They had learned to live with a little, which is a great skill; nature is content with a little, grace with less. Epicurus himself was wont to say, if he might have but aquam et offam, a draught of water, and a morsel of meat, he could live happily. {a}
{a} Paratum se esse cum Iove de faelicitate contendere, si aquam haberet et offam. - Aelian.
