Commentary

Commentary on Genesis 42:3

Theological / Devotional

Ten brethren went down. That all ten went to Egypt was either for safety or because the grain was distributed to heads of families. Their number would possibly enable them to secure more grain, and would certainly enable them to return with more of it. Also, the famine conditions would render plundering of their caravan for its supplies of food a very real possibility.
