¹¹ Then their father Israel^(A) said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products^(B) of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift^(C)—a little balm^(D) and a little honey, some spices^(E) and myrrh,^(F) some pistachio nuts and almonds. ¹² Take double the amount^(G) of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks.^(H) Perhaps it was a mistake. ¹³ Take your brother also and go back to the man at once.^{(I) 14} And may God Almighty^[a](J) grant you mercy^(K) before the man so that he will let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you.^(L) As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”^(M)

¹⁵ So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver,^(N) and Benjamin also. They hurried^(O) down to Egypt and presented themselves^(P) to Joseph.
