Genesis 43:11

Their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so now, then do this. Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring gifts for the man, some balm and some honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and sweet almonds. [Ironically, these are the same goods that were in the caravan that took Joseph to Egypt, see Gen. 37:25, which are now being brought down as gifts to Joseph.]
