Genesis 43:10-14

10for except we had lingered, surely we had nowH6258 returnedH7725 a second timeH6471.

11And their fatherH1 IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, If it be soH3651 now, do this: takeH3947 of the choice fruits of the landH776 in your vesselsH3627, and carry down the manH376 a present, a littleH4592 balmH6875, and a littleH4592 honeyH1706, spicery and myrrhH3910, nuts, and almondsH8247;

12and takeH3947 doubleH4932 moneyH3701 in your handH3027; and the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in the mouthH6310 of your sacksH572 carry again in your handH3027; peradventure it was an oversight:

13takeH3947 also your brotherH251, and ariseH6965, goH7725 again unto the manH376:

14and GodH410 AlmightyH7706 giveH5414 you mercy before the manH376, that he may release unto you your otherH312 brotherH251 and BenjaminH1144. And if I be bereavedH7921 of my children, I am bereavedH7921.
