Commentary for Genesis 43:26

וַיָּבֹ֤א יוֹסֵף֙ הַבַּ֔יְתָה וַיָּבִ֥יאּוּ ל֛וֹ אֶת־הַמִּנְחָ֥ה אֲשֶׁר־בְּיָדָ֖ם הַבָּ֑יְתָה וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֖וֹ אָֽרְצָה׃

And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down to him to the earth.

Rashi on Genesis

הביתה [THEY BROUGHT THE PRESENT] INTO THE HOUSE — from the outer hall into the reception hall.

Or HaChaim on Genesis

ויביאו לו את המנחה, They brought him the gift, etc. They had prepared this gift in a room which was especially set aside for such gifts, whereas they themselves proceeded to a different room, a room exclusively Joseph's. The Torah tells us that the brothers had entered a room in which Joseph was present in order to present their gift.
