Genesis 44:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 Now ye take this also away from me: if death take him, then [a]ye shall bring my gray head in sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore, when I come to thy servant my father, and the child be not with us (seeing that his [b]life dependeth on the child’s life.)
31 Then when he shall see that the child is not come, he will die: so shall thy servants bring down the gray head of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
