John Gill Commentary Genesis 44:3

"As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses." — Genesis 44:3 (ASV)

As soon as the morning was light
When it was break of day, before the sun rose: the men were sent away, they and their asses ;
the men being refreshed with food, and their asses having provender given them, and saddled and loaded, they were handsomely and honourably dismissed.
