Their father Israel gave in. "If it has to be, it has to be.

And take plenty of money—pay back double what was returned to your sacks; that might have been a mistake. Take your brother and get going. Go back to the man. And may The Strong God give you grace in that man’s eyes so that he’ll send back your other brother along with Benjamin. For me, nothing’s left; I’ve lost everything."

Genesis 43:11 - Additional Comments

The pistachio is a small tree, native to mountainous regions of Iran, Turkmenistan and western Afghanistan. The fruit is a drupe, containing an elongated seed (a nut in the culinary sense, but not a true botanical nut). When the fruit ripens, the husk changes from green to an autumnal yellow/red and the shells split partially open. This is known as dehiscence, and happens with an audible pop. Each pistachio tree averages around 50,000 nuts every two years.
