“And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.”
They prepared their gifts for Joseph's arrival at noon, because they had heard that they were to eat there. The preparation of the gifts before Joseph's arrival is the brothers' honoring of the occasion — they know the governor is coming; they make ready. The application: the preparation for a significant encounter is the respect paid to the person you are about to meet.
