Midras Kejadian 43:15: Bereshit Rabbati, Aggadat Bereshit & Bereshit Rabbah

(Genesis 45:8) "So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh." I am like a creditor to him, as it is stated (Exodus 22:24), "Do not impose interest upon him." Just as the way of a creditor is to lend to a borrower (Proverbs 22:7), in the book of Rabbi Meir, it is written, "And he has made me a father," as it says, "which the Lord, your God, gives you" (Deuteronomy 15:2). This is a legal judgment derived from the full texts written in the Torah, which emerged from Jerusalem during the Sabbatical year and ascended to Rome, and the scrolls were stored in the synagogue of Asvyros. "And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). "For a man and his wife, leather tunics" (Genesis 3:21). "I will descend now and see their outcry" (Genesis 18:21). "The Lord who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth" (Genesis 24:7). "And he sold his birthright" (Genesis 25:33). "Behold, now, I am old; I do not know the day of my death" (Genesis 27:2). "The fragrance of a field that the Lord has blessed" (Genesis 27:27). "And Oholibamah bore Jeush" (Genesis 36:5). "Eliphaz, the son of Esau" (Genesis 36:10). "These were the sons of Oholibamah, the wife of Esau" (Genesis 36:14). "They arose and went down to Egypt" (Genesis 43:15). "And I buried her there on the way" (Genesis 48:7).And he has made me a father to Pharaoh." And here are the names that came down to Egypt (Genesis 46:8). "So shall you say to the children of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel" (Exodus 19:3). "The children of Israel journeyed from Rameses" (Exodus 12:37). "For it is a sign between Me" (Exodus 31:13). "Five for the planks on one side" (Exodus 26:27). "We have no barricade against it." "And the priest shall take from its blood" (Leviticus 4:34), for if it is a lamb. "And when the zav becomes purified with living water" (Leviticus 15:13). "One lamb of the first year without blemish" (Leviticus 14:10). "All who come to join the ranks must be counted in their census" (Numbers 4:3). "From the first of your dough, you shall give" (Numbers 15:20). "Avenge the vengeance of the children of Israel" (Numbers 31:2). "And they came to Moses and to the congregation of the children of Israel" (Numbers 12:1). "The heads of the families of the house of Joseph approached" (Numbers 36:1). "But I have not the power to go up" (Deuteronomy 1:26). "And they shall inherit it, they and all the people of the land" (Numbers 32:22). "To give us into the hands of the Amorites" (Deuteronomy 1:27). "Nor take a mother upon her young" (Deuteronomy 22:6). "Brimstone and salt burning" (Deuteronomy 29:22). "Like the upheaval of Sodom and Gomorrah" (Deuteronomy 29:22). "I said, I would scatter them" (Deuteronomy 32:26). So they are written in the Torah that emerged from Jerusalem.

[2] Another interpretation:"And may the El Shaddai grant you mercy."As it is written in scriptures: "All the devout shall pray for this at the appropriate time (Psalm 32:6). For this, all the tribes shall pray, as it is said, 'And this is what their father said to them, etc.' (Genesis 49:28). At the appropriate time, when all the tribes went out from Jacob, he said to them, 'And to El Shaddai, etc.' (ibid. 49:1). With that same mouth that Joseph and Shimon did not recognize (Genesis 42:8), the Holy Spirit rested upon him and he began to prophesy in his prayer that all his sons would be present at the appropriate time, for he thought he had lost them, as it is said, 'And he sent for you their brother, etc.' (Genesis 43:29), referring to Joseph; 'And the other, etc.' (Genesis 42:24), referring to Shimon; and 'And Benjamin, etc.' (Genesis 43:15), as it is written. Therefore, it is said, 'All the devout shall pray for this at the appropriate time,' because when all the tribes went down to Egypt and turned their faces away, and he did not see any of them, he began to say, 'Perhaps they have joined with the nations and become one.' But the Holy One, blessed be He, said to him, 'that the rushing mighty waters not overtake him.' (Psalm 32:6). And who are these great waters? They are the nations, as it is said, 'Ah, the roar of many peoples, that roar as roars the sea, the rage of nations that rage as rage the mighty waters—' (Isaiah 17:12). Why do I have to suffer for a moment even though I may be sorry, but not forever, as it is written "For a small moment have I forsaken thee; But with great compassion will I gather thee." (Isaiah 54:7).

“The men took that gift, and they took in their hand double the silver, and Benjamin, and they arose, and they went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph” (Genesis 43:15).
“Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and he said to the one in charge of his house: Bring the men to the house and slaughter and prepare, as the men shall dine with me at noon” (Genesis 43:16).
“The men took…Joseph saw…with them…and prepare [vehakhen]” – prepare is for nothing other than Shabbat, just as it says: “It will be on the sixth day, they shall prepare…” (Exodus 16:5). This is to say that Joseph observed the Shabbat before it was given.
“The man did as Joseph said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house” (Genesis 43:17).
“The men were afraid when they were brought to Joseph's house; they said: We have been brought on the matter of the silver that was restored before to our sacks, to falsely accuse us, and attack us, and take us as slaves, and our donkeys” (Genesis 43:18).
“They approached the man in charge of Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house” (Genesis 43:19).
“The man did…The men were afraid…They approached the man” – it teaches that he was pushing them inside, and they were pushing him outside.
“They said: Please my lord, we initially descended to acquire food” (Genesis 43:20).
“We…descended” – it is a descent for us. In our land, we would support others, now we need your support.
“He said: Peace be with you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, gave you hidden treasure in your sacks; your silver came to me. And he took Simeon out to them” (Genesis 43:23).
“He said: Peace be with you, fear not” – whether it is due to your merit or due to the merit of your fathers. “Your God…gave you hidden treasure…” – in any case, “your silver came to me.”
“He took Simeon out to them” – Rabbi Ḥagai said in the name of Rabbi Yitzḥak: He rendered him like a cruse of oil when he incarcerated him,⁸A cruse of oil is wide on the bottom. So too, Simeon had grown fat due to the large quantity of food with which he was provided (Etz Yosef; see Bereshit Rabba 91:8). as it is written: “And incarcerated him before their eyes” (Genesis 42:24).
“They prepared…Joseph came…” (Genesis 43:25–26).
