Commentary on Genesis 43:23

Theological / Devotional

I had your money. The steward, who apparently knew of Joseph’s plans, calmed them with the reassurance that their money had reached him, and that the reappearance of their money was to be explained as an act of God. As if to banish all their fears, he brought Simeon to them, and with true Oriental courtesy treated them as guests, giving them water for washing their feet and feeding their beasts of burden.
