Genesis 43:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your [a]bags, and carry down to the man (A)as a gift, a little (B)balsam and a little honey, labdanum resin and [b]myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds. 12 And take double the money in your hand, and take back in your hand (C)the money that was returned in the opening of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake. 13 Take your brother also, and arise, return to the man; 14 and may [c](D)God Almighty (E)grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you (F)your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, (G)if I am bereaved of my sons, I am bereaved!”
