SCRIPTURE

"and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:" — Genesis 43:12 (ASV)

Double money. —So Rashi; but others render it literally, second money, that is, a second sum of money. This agrees with the phrase “other money” (Genesis 43:22).
