To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment;—literally, alterations of garments, i.e. changes or suits of dress ( 14:12, 14:13; 2 Kings 5:5); probably dress clothes for special occasions (Keil, Lange, Murphy); δισσὰς στολὰς (LXX.

); binas stolas (Vulgate)—but (literally, and) to Benjamin he gave—not to make amends for having given him a fright (Lange), but as a special token of fraternal affection (Murphy)—three hundred pieces of silver,-literally, three hundred of silver (cf.

Genesis 43:1-34 :44)—and five changes of raiment—which renders it probable that the brothers only received two.
