11 Then their father Israel (he wrestles with God) said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your⁺ packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.

12 Take double the silver with you⁺ so that you⁺ may return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your⁺ sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.

13 Take your⁺ brother as well, and return to the man at once.

14 May God Almighty {El-Shaddai} grant you⁺ mercy before the man, that he may release your⁺ other brother along with Benjamin (son of the right hand). As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
