Genesis 43:14
Compare all
12 Take double money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money athat was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.  
13 Take your brother also, and arise, go back to the man.
14 And may God aAlmighty bgive you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. cIf I am bereaved, I am bereaved!”  
15 So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went adown to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.  
16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the asteward of his house, “Take these men to my home, and slaughter1 an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon.”

Genesis 43:14

This verse may be literally translated thus: - "And God, the all-sufficient, shall give you tender mercies before the man, and send to you your other brother, and Benjamin; and I, as I shall be childless, so I shall be childless." That is, I will submit to this privation, till God shall restore my children. It appears that this verse is spoken prophetically; and that God at this time gave Jacob a supernatural evidence that his children should be restored.
