John Gill Commentary Genesis 43:19

"And they came near to the steward of Joseph`s house, and they spake unto him at the door of the house," — Genesis 43:19 (ASV)

And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house
The same person before called the ruler of his house, under whose direction they were; just before they came to the house, as it seems by what follows, they made up to him as having something to say to him: and they communed with him at the door of the house ;
before they went into it, being uneasy and eager to know what should be the meaning of their being brought thither, which was unusual.
