Commentary on Genesis 43:12

Theological / Devotional

Double money. Since the amount paid for the first lot of grain had been returned, Jacob advised his sons to take a double amount of money back to Egypt, to pay for the grain procured previously and for food to be bought on this trip. Although Jacob had feared that the return of the money might be interpreted falsely in Egypt (ch. 42:35), he expressed hope that it might have been done by mistake.
