ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף בראשית 41:57

ויקח...וכל טוב, not literally “all the good,” but most of the good things. The exaggeration here is similar to when the Torah describes כל הארץ, “the whole earth” as going to Egypt to buy grain. (Genesis 41,57) What is meant is: “most people from all over.” There are many such “exaggerations.” What the Torah meant was that Eliezer took with him samples of most of the precious possessions in Avraham’s household in order to show the family of the potential bride that she would be marrying into a wealthy family. Our sages (quoted by Rashi) explain the term וכל טוב as referring to a document in which Avraham had appointed Yitzchok as his sole heir. Eliezer brought this document with him, i.e. בידו, “in his hand.”

What does the Torah tell us about the geographical entity we call Egypt? First of all, Egypt functions as a place of economic refuge for those living around it. Both Avraham and Ya’akov go to Egypt when confronted with famine (Bereshit 12:10 and Bereshit 46:6).⁹Bereshit 12:10 and 46:6, respectively. Yitzchak would have done the same had he not been prohibited by special Divine mandate (Bereshit 26:1-2).¹⁰Ibid., 26:1–2. Moreover, we read that other nations would also come to Egypt to find sustenance in times of famine (Bereshit 41:57).¹¹Ibid., 41:57. Were we to know nothing else, these passages immediately show us that even when the rest of the region is experiencing drought, Egypt is somehow spared.

Before Elokim. That is, in public. Alternatively, it means that performed their corrupt deeds in private so that only Hashem knew of them.
