SEV Biblia, Chapter 43:29
Y alzando él sus ojos vio a Benjamín su hermano, hijo de su madre, y dijo: ¿Es éste vuestro hermano menor, de quien me hablasteis? Y dijo: Dios tenga misericordia de ti, hijo mío.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:29
Verse 29. He lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin] They were probably introduced to him successively; and as Benjamin was the youngest, he would of course be introduced last. God be gracious unto thee, my son!] A usual salutation in the east from the aged and superiors to the younger and inferiors, which, though very emphatic and expressive in ancient times, in the present day means no more than ""I am your humble servant,"" or ""I am exceedingly glad to see you;"" words which among us mean-just nothing. Even in David's time they seem to have been, not only devoid of meaning, but to be used as a cloak for the basest and most treacherous designs: They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Hence Joab salutes Amasa, kisses him with apparent affection, and stabs him in the same moment! The case of Judas, betraying the Son of man with a kiss, will not be forgotten.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-34 - Observe the great respect Joseph's brethren paid to him. Thus wer Joseph's dreams more and more fulfilled. Joseph showed great kindnes to them. He treated them nobly; but see here the early distance betwee Jews and gentiles. In a day of famine, it is enough to be fed; but the were feasted. Their cares and fears were now over, and they ate their bread with joy, reckoning they were upon good terms with the lord of the land. If God accept our works, our present, we have reason to be cheerful. Joseph showed special regard for Benjamin, that he might tr whether his brethren would envy him. It must be our rule, to be conten with what we have, and not to grieve at what others have. Thus Jesu shows those whom he loves, more and more of their need. He makes the see that he is their only refuge from destruction. He overcomes their unwillingness, and brings them to himself. Then, as he sees good, he gives them some taste of his love, and welcomes them to the provision of his house, as an earnest of what he further intends for them __________________________________________________________________
