Genesis 43:10-12

New English Translation

¹⁰ But if we had not delayed, we could have traveled there and back^[a] twice by now!”

¹¹ Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and take a gift down to the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds. ¹² Take double the money with you;^[b] you must take back^[c] the money that was returned in the mouths of your sacks—perhaps it was an oversight.
