Genesis 43:11-14 ▼

11 Israel their father then told them: “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the land’s best products in your baggage and take them down to the man as gifts: some balm and honey, gum and resin, and pistachios and almonds.

12 Also take double the money along, for you must return the amount that was put back in the mouths of your bags; it may have been a mistake.

13 Take your brother, too, and be off on your way back to the man.

14 May God Almighty grant you mercy in the presence of the man, so that he may let your other brother go, as well as Benjamin. As for me, if I am to suffer bereavement, I shall suffer it.”
