as one of them opened] That there was but one sacke opened in the Inne may seeme by this saying; which appeares the more probable, because when they came home and emptied their sackes before Jacob, they were all afraid to see every man his money restored againe, which had not so much affected and affrighted them, if they had all opened them before in the Inne; and though Judah say they opened their sacks in the Inne, Chap. 43. 21. They that hold there was but one single sacke opened, reply to that, that as Noah, in the five hundreth yeare of his age, is said to beget Shem, Ham, and Japhet, Genesis 5:32. whereas he then began to beget them (and the same may be said of Terah, Genesis 11:26.) so they were said to open when they did but begin to open their sackes in the Inne, and finished the discovery at their coming home: But it seemes not probable, that when one sacke was opened, and they so troubled, but that they would presently make triall of the rest; and it is enough that the rest are mentioned to have done the like, Chap. 43. 21. and though upon the opening of their sacks in the presence of Jacob they were affrighted againe, that might be, not as at a new thing, but upon some new reason of danger discovered by their father, which from his apprehension of perill might worke a stronger operation of feare in them then before they conceived; or it might have so much new force as to renue their former feare, for a time intermitted.
