Genesis 43:10-14

10If we hadn’t wasted all this time, we could have gone and returned twice by now.”

11So their father, Jacob, finally said to them, “If it can’t be avoided, then at least do this. Pack your bags with the best products of this land. Take them down to the man as gifts—balm, honey, gum, aromatic resin, pistachio nuts, and almonds.

12Also take double the money that was put back in your sacks, as it was probably someone’s mistake.

13Then take your brother, and go back to the man.

14May God Almighty give you mercy as you go before the man, so that he will release Simeon and let Benjamin return. But if I must lose my children, so be it.”
