וַיִּקְח֤וּ הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ אֶת־הַמִּנְחָ֣ה הַזֹּ֔את וּמִשְׁנֶה־כֶּ֛סֶף לָקְח֥וּ בְיָדָ֖ם וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִ֑ן וַיָּקֻ֙מוּ֙ וַיֵּרְד֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיַּֽעַמְד֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י יוֹסֵֽף׃
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Binyamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Yosef.
Classical midrash on the second descent with Binyamin.
וְאֶת בִּנְיָמִן וַיָּקֻמוּ וַיֵּרְדוּ מִצְרַיִם. הַיְּרִידָה הַשְּׁנִיָּה כּוֹלֶלֶת אֶת בִּנְיָמִין וְאֶת הַמִּנְחָה.
English of Core Text: “And Binyamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt.” The second descent includes both Binyamin and the gift.
On the daf / in context: The midrash marks the moment the family finally risks the remaining son of Rachel; the narrative tension reaches its height as they stand again before Yosef.
Type of Learning: Derash on the verse (classic midrash) — not a formal named middah of the 13.
What Is Learned: The decision to send Binyamin is irreversible once they stand before Yosef; the second journey is the point of no return for the test that Yosef has prepared.
