Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Genesis 43:13
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
Take also your brother,…. Their brother Benjamin, committing him into their hands and to their care, hereby declaring his consent and willingness that he should go with them:
and arise, go again to the man; the governor of Egypt, to buy corn of him.

Gen 43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
Ver. 13. Take also your brother. ] Since there is no other remedy. But if I could otherwise do, he should never go. God doeth us good sometimes against our wills, and crosseth us with a blessing. The heathens could pray thus –
“Great God, the good thou hast to give,
Whether we will’t or no,
Let’s still receive: no mischief thrive
To work our overthrow.”
