5. and if thou art not sending--we do not go down, for the man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.'
6. And Israel saith, `Why did ye evil to me, by declaring to the man that ye had yet a brother?'
7. and they say, `The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? and we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?'
8. And Judah saith unto Israel his father, `Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and thou, and our infants.
9. I--I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee--then I have sinned against thee all the days;
10. for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.'
11. And Israel their father saith unto them, `If so, now, this do: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds;
12. and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, ye take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
13. `And take your brother, and rise, turn back unto the man;
14. and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved--I am bereaved.'
15. And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph;
16. and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who [is] over his house, `Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat at noon.'
