Genesis 43:8-14 ▼

8 And Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and let us go and we will live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

9 I myself will guarantee him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then I shall bear the blame to you all the days.

10 For if we had not lingered, surely now we would have returned these two times.”

11 And Israel their father said to them, “If so, then do this: Take from the best products of the land in your? vessels, and carry down to the man as a gift—a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.

12 And double the silver take in your? hand, and the silver that was returned in the mouth of your? bags you? shall return in your? hand. Perhaps it was a mistake.

13 And take your? brother and arise; return to the man.

14 And may El-Shaddai give to you? mercy before the man, and may he release to you? your? other brother and Benjamin! And I—if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
