Heb. carrying, "And Pharaohª saidª ° unto¹ Joseph,ª Sayª ° unto¹ thy brethren,ª This¹ doª ° ye; ladeª °¹ your beasts,ª and go,² °¹ getª ° you unto the landª of Canaan;ª" {Gen 45:17}

"And the servantª tookª ° tenª camelsª of the camelsª ¹ of his master,ª and departed;² °¹ for all¹ the goodsª of his masterª [were] in his hand:ª and he arose,ª ° and went² °¹ to¹ Mesopotamia,ª unto¹ the cityª of Nahor.ª" {Gen 24:10} + "And their fatherª Israelª saidª ° unto¹ them, If¹ [it must be] so¹ now,ª doª ° this;¹ takeª ° of the best fruitsª ¹ in the landª in your vessels,ª and carry downª ° the manª a present,ª a littleª balm,ª and a littleª honey,ª spices,ª and myrrh,ª nuts,ª and almonds:ª" {Gen 43:11} + "And the childrenª of Israelª saidª ° unto¹ them, Would to Godª ª ° we had diedª ° by the handª of the LORDª in the landª of Egypt,ª when we satª ° by¹ the fleshª pots,ª [and] when we did eatª ° breadª to the full;ª for¹ ye have brought us forthª °¹ into¹ this¹ wilderness,ª to killª °¹ this¹ whole¹ assemblyª with hunger.ª" {Exd 16:3}

meat:
As mazon is derived from zoon, to prepare, provide, Dr. A. Clarke thinks it may mean here prepared meat; some made-up dish, delicacies, confectionaries, etc. In Asiatic countries they have several curious methods of preserving flesh by potting, by which it may be kept, for any length of time, sweet and wholesome. Some delicacy, similar to the savoury meat which Isaac loved, may here be intended; sent to Jacob in consideration of his age, and to testify the respect of his son; for of other kinds of meat he could have no need, as he had large flocks and herds, and could kill a lamb, kid, etc. when he pleased.
