Genesis 43:13 In-Context

11 Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and take them down to the man as a gift-some balsam and some honey, aromatic gum and resin, pistachios and almonds.

12 Take twice as much money with you. Return the money that was returned [to you] in the top of your bags. Perhaps it was a mistake.

13 Take your brother also, and go back at once to the man.

14 May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived."

15 The men took this gift, double the amount of money, and Benjamin. They made their way down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
