Why does the Torah say that the man brought them to Yosef's house, seeing as that is where they already were (see verse 43:17)?
1.
Rashi: Indeed they were, but (scared out of their wits - EC) they were pushing 'the man' out, until they reached the entrance of the house, at which point he stated "Shalom Lachem" (43:23). That is when they followed him back inside.
2.
Ohr ha'Chayim: Their entrance was interrupted; they did not want to enter before discussing the money they found. Therefore, it needed to repeat that he brought them inside.
