* And their father Israel said unto them , If it must be so now , do this ; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels , and carry down the man a present , a little balm , and a little honey , spices n @ko #th #, and myrrh , nuts , and almonds : * And take double money in your hand ; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks , carry it again in your hand ; peradventure it was an oversight : * Take also your brother , and arise , go again unto the man : * And God Almighty give you mercy before the man , that he may send away your other brother , and Benjamin . If I be bereaved of my children , I am bereaved . * And the men took that present , and they took double money in their hand , and Benjamin ; and rose up , and went down to Egypt , and stood before Joseph . * And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them , he said to the ruler of his house , Bring these men home , and slay , and make ready ; for these men shall dine with me at noon . * And the man did as Joseph bade ; and the man brought the men into Josephs house . * And the men were afraid , because they were brought into Josephs house ; and they said , Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in ; that he may seek occasion against us , and fall upon us , and take us for bondmen , and our asses . * And they came near to the steward of Josephs house , and they communed with him at the door of the house , * And said , O sir , we came indeed down at the first time to buy food : * And it came to pass , when we came to the inn , that we opened our sacks , and , behold , every mans money was in the mouth of his sack , our money in full weight : and we have brought it again in our hand . * And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food : we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks . * And he said , Peace be to you , fear not : your God , and the God of your father , hath given you treasure in your sacks : I had your money . And he brought Simeon out unto them . * And the man brought the men into Josephs house , and gave them water , and they washed their feet ; and he gave their asses provender . * And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon : for they heard that they should eat bread there . * And when Joseph came home , they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house , and bowed themselves to him to the earth .
