Context — Pharaoh Invites Jacob to Egypt
21So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
22He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
23And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
24Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!” 25So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.Cross References

Genesis 45:23 Summary
[Genesis 45:23 shows us that Joseph, who had become a powerful leader in Egypt, wanted to take care of his father Jacob and make sure he had everything he needed for his journey. Joseph sent ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, as well as grain, bread, and provisions, to provide for his father's needs, demonstrating his love and care for his family.

By trusting in God's provision, we can show love and care for our families, just like Joseph did.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 45:23
And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 45:23
After this manner; Heb. according to this. What? Either what went before, changes of raiment, or what follows, ten asses, & c. Or, contend, one with another, each vindicating himself, and laying the blame upon his brother.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 45:23
Genesis 45:23 And to his father he sent after this [manner]; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.Ver. 23. After this manner.] Not the same that he gave Benjamin, as some sense it; but as followeth in the text.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 45:23
(23) Meat.—Heb., food, victual, the usual meaning of meat in our version.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 45:23
Verse 23. Meat for his father by the way.] מזון mazon, from זן zan, to prepare, provide, c. Hence prepared meat, some made-up dish, delicacies, confectionaries, c. As the word is used, 2 Chronicles 16:14, for aromatic preparations, it may be restrained in its meaning to something of that kind here. In Asiatic countries they have several curious methods of preserving flesh by potting, by which it may be kept for any reasonable length of time sweet and wholesome. Some delicacy, similar to the savoury food which Isaac loved, may be here intended and this was sent to Jacob in consideration of his age, and to testify the respect of his son. Of other kinds of meat he could need none, as he had large herds, and could kill a lamb, kid, sheep, or goat, whenever he pleased.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 45:23
23. Ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt — “These presents to his aged father were in princely profusion, as was fitting the rank of the highest subject of Pharaoh, calculated to impress
