Genesis 43:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. ^(A)If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever. ¹⁰ If we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice.”

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 a present down to the man, a little ^(B)balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
