Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 43:11

11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrhe , nuts and almonds.

Of all which see Gen. 37. 25.

That kind of nuts which we call pistaches, as some Hebrew and other expositours render the word; for that was both an excellent fruit and peculiar to Iudea and Syria and well agreeing with the almonds which here follow.
