Genesis 43:13

Genesis 43:13 In-Context

11 Their father Israel gave in. "If it has to be, it has to be. But do this: stuff your packs with the finest products from the land you can find and take them to the man as gifts - some balm and honey, some spices and perfumes, some pistachios and almonds.

12 And take plenty of money - pay back double what was returned to your sacks; that might have been a mistake.

13 Take your brother and get going. Go back to the man.

14 And may The Strong God give you grace in that man's eyes so that he'll send back your other brother along with Benjamin. For me, nothing's left; I've lost everything."

15 The men took the gifts, double the money, and Benjamin. They lost no time in getting to Egypt and meeting Joseph.
