Then Pharaoh said unto him, but what hast thou lacked with me, etc.] Either of an equipage suitable to his birth and marriage, or of provisions for his household, or of honour and respect, or of any favour from him: that, behold, thou seekest to go into thine own country? as if not well used where he was, or would be better provided for there: and he answered, nothing; he wanted nothing at all, had all he could wish for: howbeit, let me go in any wise: he had such an extreme desire to go, that he begged it might not be denied him on any account; whether he acquainted Pharaoh with his view in this request is not said, but it is probable he did, and it is certain Pharaoh gave him leave to go, (see <111125>1 Kings 11:25).
