Genesis 43:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For except we had made this tarrying, doubtless by this we had returned the second time.
11 Then their father Israel said unto them, If it must needs be so now, do thus: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosin, and a little honey, [a]spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 And take [b]double money in your hand, and the money, that was brought again in your sacks’ mouths carry it again in your hand, lest it were some oversight.

10 As it is, if we had not delayed,(A) we could have gone and returned twice.”
11 Then their father Israel(B) said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products(C) of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift(D)—a little balm(E) and a little honey, some spices(F) and myrrh,(G) some pistachio nuts and almonds. 12 Take double the amount(H) of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks.(I) Perhaps it was a mistake.
