And the men took the present
Their father directed them to: and they took double money in their hand;
besides what they found in their sacks mouths, which they also carried with them: and Benjamin;

Genesis 43:15 In-Context

13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man.

14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may let your other brother go, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my sons, I am bereaved.

15 Then the men took the present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home and slay an animal and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

17 And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.
