Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) The inn.--The lodging-place. (See Note on Genesis 42:27.)Our sacks.--Heb., our travelling or forage bags. It is the word used at the end of Genesis 42:27. So immediately afterwards the silver was found "in the mouth of the travelling-bag." And so again in Genesis 43:22-23. This is accurate, as the silver was placed in the private bag of each one, and not in the corn sacks; but as we have seen in Genesis 42:27; Genesis 42:35, only one of them found his money at the lodging-place. This, however, was a matter of no importance, while it was necessary to show that they were a full day's journey on the route homewards before the mistake was discovered. . . .
