Verse
Genesis - ch 44 v 21 - 34
- And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
- We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
- And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
- Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.
- And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.
- And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man's face.
- Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore two.
- One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not.
- If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell.
- 30Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,)
- And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his gray hairs with sorrow unto hell.
- Let me be tht proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.
- Therefore I thy servant will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren.
- For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
