GENESIS CHAPTER 43
The famine continuing, and their provision being spent, Jacob commands them to go again to Egypt, Gen_43:1,2. They prevail with their father to send Benjamin: Judah undertakes for him, Gen_43:3-10. He gives them presents, double money, and his blessing, Gen_43:11-14. They go to Egypt; stand before Joseph, Gen_43:15. He seeing Benjamin with them, causeth them to be brought to his house, and entertained, Gen_43:16,17; whereat they are afraid, and make an apology to the steward about their money, Gen_43:18-22. He bids them good cheer, useth them courteously, brings Simeon to them, Gen_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, Gen_43:25-30. He feasts them, but Benjamin in an especial manner, Gen_43:31-34.
