8 Put 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.
9 Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
10 Then 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:
11 And 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;
12 And take your brother and go back to the man:
13 And 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.
14 So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
