Genesis 43:11-13

"And their father Israel said unto them, If it be so now, do this: take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, a little honey, spicery and myrrh, nuts, and almonds; and take double money in you hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight: take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man."

Having resolved to consent to Benjamin's making the journey, Jacob at once moved to handle the mission as astutely as possible. Adequate preparations of an appropriate gift for "the man" was ordered, also the return of the money they had found in their sacks, and double money with which to buy more were among the preparations made for the journey, including, of course, the taking of Benjamin on the trip.
