Genesis 42:35-38 ▼

35 And it came to pass, they were empyting their sacks, and behold, each man’s bundle of his silver was in his sack; and they saw their bundles of silver, they and their father, and they were afraid.

36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You⁺ have bereaved me. Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and Benjamin you⁺ will take. All these things are against me!”

37 And Reuben said to his father, saying, “My two sons you will put to death, if I do not bring him back to you! Put him in my hand, and I will return him to you.”

38 And he said, “My son shall not go down with you⁺, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. And if harm should befall him in the way in which you⁺ go, then you⁺ would bring down my gray hair in sorrow to Sheol.”
