## Genesis 43:10 in Context (Verses 7–13 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/genesis/43/7) And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, *Is* your father yet alive? have ye *another* brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?***
 
 [8 ](/kjv/genesis/43/8) And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, *and* also our little ones.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/genesis/43/9) I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/genesis/43/10) For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/43/11) 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, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/genesis/43/12) 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:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/genesis/43/13) Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
