Genesis 43:14
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved. And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
The verse is Jacob's farewell benediction as his sons were about to leave him on their doubtful and uncertain journey to Egypt. Their aged father arose and stood in their midst, raised his hands to heaven, entreated the Lord to go with them, and pronounced a gracious benediction upon them. He blessed them with a prayer that God Almighty would go with them and give them mercy before the man in Egypt.
Jacob permitted Benjamin to go down to Egypt with his brothers only because pressing want and the hunger of his children and households compelled him. His clinging affection for Benjamin held with all the strength of a mother's love and showed how deeply he still felt the loss of Joseph. In sending them he also sought favor with the ruler by sending a present to obtain favor. He directed them to take double money and to carry back the money found in their sacks as perhaps placed there by mistake, and he commanded them to take their brother and go again to the man.
The prayer asks God Almighty to give his sons mercy and favor before the man in Egypt, the Egyptian ruler, so that he would send away and release the other brother, Simeon, and Benjamin to return. With the prayer Jacob resigns himself to loss, accepting that if he is bereaved of his children he is bereaved and entrusting the outcome to God. He accepts that he may lose his children, expressing resignation to whatever outcome comes.
The prayer was answered when the brothers were shown mercy. The steward spoke peace to them, told them not to fear, credited their God and their father's God with giving them treasure in their sacks, and brought Simeon out to them. This relieved their anxiety and showed God had been gracious to them as entreated.
