Genesis 43:16
_ _ ruler of his house — In the houses of wealthy Egyptians one upper man servant was intrusted with the management of the house (compare Genesis 39:5).
_ _ slay, and make ready — Hebrew, “kill a killing” — implying preparations for a grand entertainment (compare Genesis 31:54; 1 Samuel 25:11; Proverbs 9:2; Matthew 22:4). The animals have to be killed as well as prepared at home. The heat of the climate requires that the cook should take the joints directly from the hands of the flesher, and the Oriental taste is, from habit, fond of newly killed meat. A great profusion of viands, with an inexhaustible supply of vegetables, was provided for the repasts, to which strangers were invited, the pride of Egyptian people consisting rather in the quantity and variety than in the choice or delicacy of the dishes at their table.
_ _ dine ... at noon — The hour of dinner was at midday. |
- the ruler:
Genesis 43:19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

Genesis 39:4-5 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand. ... And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
