³⁶ And Jacob their father said to them, “You have ^(A)bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take ^(B)Benjamin. All these things are against me.”

³⁸ But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for ^(A)his brother is dead, and he is left alone. ^(B)If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would ^(C)bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”

³¹ it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
