Genesis 43:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Had we not delayed, we could have been there and back twice by now!”
11 Israel their father then told them: “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the land’s best products in your baggage and take them down to the man as gifts: some balm and honey, gum and resin, and pistachios and almonds.(A) 12 Also take double the money along, for you must return the amount that was put back in the mouths of your bags; it may have been a mistake.
