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].’
