7Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.
8Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
9Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
10Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:
11And take twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;
13And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.
