Overall meaning : God Almighty says: Joseph’s brothers journeyed to Egypt to buy food after famine had struck their land. They came into Joseph’s presence who recognized them, but they failed to discern his identity and recognize him because it was a long time since they last saw him and because his appearance changed significantly. Joseph had ordered they be honoured and shown generous hospitality, then he provided them with the food supplies they required. They told him that they had a brother from their father—that is, his full brother—whom they had not brought along with them. 'Next time you come here,’ he said to them, 'bring me your brother on your father’s side to receive an additional camel-load of grain. Do you not see that I have given you full measure, have been very hospitable to you and that I am the best of hosts? If you do not bring him to me next time, do not expect a single measure of grain from me, nor even come to my land again.’ They said, 'We will do our best to persuade his father to let him come with us, and we will leave no stone unturned to accomplish his.’ Joseph said to his servants, 'Put their money back into their saddlebags, so that they will recognize it when they return home to their family, and hence be more eager to come back to us again.’
