by Rabbi Yisroel Greenwald

by Maran HaRav Chaim Shmuelevitz zt'l

Concerning the descent of Yosef to Egypt, it is written, "And lo, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilad, and their camels bore gum, balm and laudanum, going to carry it down to Egypt." Chazal ask: But it is not customary for Arabs to trade with wares other than animal skins and pitch. Yet, come and see what Hashem prepared for that tzaddik at the time -- sacks filled with spices whose fragrance the wind wafts to overcome the odor of the Arabs (Yalkut Shimoni Bereishis 247 142).
