10. If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
11. Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
12. And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
13. And take also your brother, and go to the man.
14. And may my almighty Bod make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
15. So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16. And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.
