New English Translation

³⁵ When they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bag of money in his sack! When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were afraid. ³⁶ Their father Jacob said to them, “You are making me childless! Joseph is gone.^[a] Simeon is gone.^[b] And now you want to take^[c] Benjamin! Everything is against me.”

³⁷ Then Reuben said to his father, “You may^[d] put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my care^[e] and I will bring him back to you.”
