Genesis 43:11-14

English Standard Version

¹¹ Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry a present down to the man, a little ^(A)balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds. ¹² Take double the money with you. Carry back with you the money ^(B)that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight. ¹³ Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man. ¹⁴ May ^(C)God Almighty^{[a] (D)}grant you mercy before the man, and may he send back your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, ^(E)if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”
