Genesis 43:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ Had we not waited this long already, we could have made the journey twice now and have enough food.

Jacob: ¹¹ All right. If that’s the way it has to be. But do this: take some of the best products our land has to offer; carry them in your bags and present them to the man as a gift—a little balm and honey, some gum and resin, some pistachio nuts and almonds. ¹² This time, take double the money with you. Carry back the money that was returned in the top of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight on their part.
