8 Then Judah said to his father, “Let Benjamin go with me, and we will leave at once, so that none of us will starve to death.
9 I promise to bring him back safely, and if I don't, you can blame me as long as I live.
10 If we had not wasted all this time, we could already have been there and back twice.”
11 Their father said:If Benjamin must go with you, take the governor a gift of some of the best things from our own country, such as perfume, honey, spices, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
12 Also take along twice the amount of money for the grain, because there must have been some mistake when the money was put back in your sacks.
13 Take Benjamin with you and leave at once.
14 When you go in to see the governor, I pray that God All-Powerful will be good to you and that the governor will let your other brother and Benjamin come back home with you. But if I must lose my children, I suppose I must.
