Discovery BoxJob 42:11 
Context42:11 So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined 1 with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver 2 and a gold ring. 3
1 tn Heb “ate bread.”
2 tn The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qÿsitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value is unknown.
sn The Hebrew word refers to a piece of silver, yet uncoined. It is the kind used in Gen 33:19 and Josh 24:32. It is what would be expected of a story set in the patriarchal age.
3 sn This gold ring was worn by women in the nose, or men and women in the ear.
