It is written (Gen. 45, 22) To each of them he gave changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave … five changes of raiment. Is it possible that that which gave trouble to Joseph's father (Ib. b) proved a stumbling block to Joseph? For Rabba b. Mehasia quoted R. Chama b. Guria, who said in the name of Rab: "On account of two Selaim worth of silk which Jacob bestowed on Joseph in preference to his other sons, the brothers became jealous of him, and brought about the entrance of our ancestors into Egypt." "This was a hint that from him would descend a man who would wear five royal garments," said R. Benjamin b. Jepheth, in the name of R. Elazar. Who is he? Mordecai, concerning whom it is written (Est. 8, 15) And Mordecai went out in a royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a cloak of fine linen and purple. (Gen. 45, 14) And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's necks. How many necks had Benjamin? R. Benjamin b. Jepheth, in the name of R. Elazar, said: "He wept for the two Temples, that were destined to be in Benjamin's land and were doomed to destruction." And Benjamin wept upon his neck; i.e., he wept for the Tabernacle of Shilo, that was designated in Joseph's part of the land, and was destined to be destroyed. (Ib.) And behold, your own eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin. "This means," said R. Benjamin b. Jepheth in the name of R. Elazar, "that he (Joseph) said to them, 'Just as I have nothing in my heart against Benjamin, who took no part in my sale, so have I nothing against you, who sold me.'" (Ib.) It is my mouth the best things of Egypt? R. Benjamin b. Jepheth, in the name of R. Elazar, explained this: "What I speak with my mouth, I think in my heart." (Ib. 23) And to his father he sent after this manner with the best things of Egypt. What is the meaning of that speaketh unto you. R. Benjamin b. Jepheth, in the name of R. Elazar, said: "He sent him old wine, which strengthens the minds of old when they drink it."
Bereshit Rabbah
“Pharaoh said to Joseph: Say to your brothers: Do this: Load your animals, and go, and come to the land of Canaan, and take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the finest of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land” (Genesis 45:17-18).
“Do this…and take your father…the finest” – this is split beans, which are effective in soothing the uneasiness of the soul.
“To all of them he gave, each man changes of garments, and to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments” (Genesis 45:22).
“And to his father he sent as follows: Ten donkeys laden with the bounty of Egypt, and ten female donkeys laden with grain, and bread, and food for his father for the journey” (Genesis 45:23).
“To all of them he gave, each man…. And to his father he sent as follows: Ten donkeys…[ten female donkeys laden with grain [bar], and bread [veleḥem], and food[mazon]]” – Rabbi Yoshiya said: Regarding vows, one follows colloquial speech. Bar – grain, leḥem – [bread], in its plain sense, mazon – Rav Aḥa bar Eila said: From here [it may be derived] that all foodstuffs are called mazon. [But] Rabbi Yoḥanan, when he would eat boiled grain, would say: I did not eat mazon today.
“He sent his brothers and they went, and he said to them: Do not quarrel on the way” (Genesis 45:24).
“He sent his brothers…” – he said to them: ‘Do not stride long strides, do not refrain yourselves from [studying] matters of Torah, and enter the city while the sun [still shines].’
