36 Their father Jacob (he grasps the heel) said to them, “You⁺ have deprived me of my sons. Joseph (YHWH has added) is gone and Simeon (heard) is no more. Now you⁺ want to take Benjamin (son of the right hand). Everything is going against me!” 37 Then Reuben (behold a son) said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I fail to bring him back to you. Put him in my care, and I will return him.” 38 But Jacob replied, “My son will not go down there with you⁺, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If any harm comes to him on your⁺ journey, you⁺ will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.” Genesis 42:36-38, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
