Genesis 45:24 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘So he sent his brothers away and they departed. And he said to them, “See that you do not fall out with each other on the way.” '

Alternatively it could be translated ‘do not be agitated on the way'. It is difficult to see why he should warn them against falling out, unless of course he has been aware of some disagreement between them about how they will broach the matter to Jacob. It is equally likely that he is comforting them in view of the task of telling their father that he is alive.

Genesis 45:24

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
