SEV Biblia, Chapter 42:25

Y mandó José que llenaran sus sacos de trigo, y devolviesen el dinero de cada uno de ellos, poniéndolo en su saco, y les diesen comida para el camino; y fue hecho con ellos así.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 42:25

Verse 25. Commanded to fill their sacks] µhylk keleyhem, their vessels; probably large woollen bags, or baskets lined with leather, which, as Sir John Chardin says, are still in use through all Asia, and are called tambellet; they are covered with leather, the better to resist the wet, and to prevent dirt and sand from mixing with the grain. These vessels, of whatever sort, must have been different from those called q� sak in the twenty-seventh and following verses, which was probably only a small sack or bag, in which each had reserved a sufficiency of corn for his ass during the journey; the larger vessels or bags serving to hold the wheat or rice they had brought, and their own packages. The reader will at once see that the English word sack is plainly derived from the Hebrew.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 25-28 - The brethren came for corn, and corn they had: not only so, but ever man had his money given back. Thus Christ, like Joseph, gives ou supplies without money and without price. The poorest are invited to buy. But guilty consciences are apt to take good providences in a ba sense; to put wrong meanings even upon things that make for them.
