Genesis 43:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

^9 (A)I myself will be surety for him; ^[a]you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then ^[b]let me bear the blame before you forever. ¹⁰ For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice.”

¹¹ Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your ^[c]bags, and carry down to the man ^(B)as a present, a little ^[d](C)balm and a little honey, ^[e]aromatic gum and ^[f]myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
