Jacob relented,
"If it must be!
Do this
Gather some of the best products
Of our land
Put them in your bags
And take them down
To the man
As a gift

A little balm,
A little honey,
Spices and myrrh,
Pistachio nuts,
And Almonds

Take double the amount
Of silver with you
For you must return
The silver that was your sacks
For it was most likely
A mistake.

Take your brother also,
Go quickly!
And may God Almightly
Grant you mercy."

Keep going.......Look at Jacob's attitude (heart), not only did he instruct his boys to "return" the silver, which had been placed back into their bags on purpose unknowing to Jacob and his sons, but prepare a special gift to return with AND with Benjamin too. Boy, these ten boys of twelve did not take after their wise ole dad, did they? Doing a great job.  Marcy

SEPTSONG, with each installment different lessons are suggested. Here, we see the lesson of doing what we have to do, to get the job done, and our objectives won.  It might also be noted that, while Jacob is instilling in his sons the importance of honesty-Jacob(who's very name means supplanter) had not always been to upright and honest, and had learned the hard way- that Honesty is the best policy!  Very Good!
