Take also your brother Their brother Benjamin, committing him into their hands and to their care, hereby declaring his consent and willingness that he should go with them: and arise, go again to the man; the governor of Egypt, to buy corn of him.
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 down to the man a present, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
12
Take double the money with you; carry back with you the money 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 God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may send back your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."
15
So the men took the present, and they took double the money with them, and Benjamin; and they arose and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
