SEV Biblia, Chapter 43:23
Y él respondió: Paz a vosotros, no temáis; vuestro Dios y el Dios de vuestro padre os dio el tesoro en vuestros costales; vuestro dinero vino a mí. Y sacó a Simeón a ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:23
Verse 23. And he said] The address of the steward in this verse plainly proves that the knowledge of the true God was in Egypt. It is probable that the steward himself was a Hebrew, and that Joseph had given him intimation of the whole affair; and though he was not at liberty to reveal it, yet he gives them assurances that the whole business would issue happily. I had your money.] yla ab µkpsk caspechem ba elai, your money comes to me. As I am the steward, the cash for the corn belongs to me. Ye have no reason to be apprehensive of any evil; the whole transaction is between myself and you; receive therefore the money as a present from the God of your father, no matter whose hands he makes use of to convey it. The conduct of the steward, as well as his words, had a great tendency to relieve their burdened minds.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-25 - Jacob's sons went down the second time into Egypt to buy corn. If we should ever know what a famine of the word means, let us not think i much to travel as far for spiritual food, as they did for bodily food Joseph's steward had orders from his master to take them to his house Even this frightened them. Those that are guilty make the worst of every thing. But the steward encouraged them. It appears, from what he said, that by his good master he was brought to the knowledge of the true God, the God of the Hebrews. Religious servants should take all fit occasions to speak of God and his providence, with reverence an seriousness.
