Genesis 42:35-38 ▼

35 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man’s bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.

36 Then their father Jacob said to them, |You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come against me.|

37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, |Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back to you.|

38 But he said, |My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.|
