Genesis 42:37-38

37Then ReubenH7205 spokeH559 to his fatherH1, sayingH559, “You may putH4191 my twoH8147 sonsH1121 to deathH4191 ifH518 I do not bringH935 him back to you; putH5414 him in my 1careH3027, and I will returnH7725 him to you.”

38But 2Jacob saidH559, “My sonH1121 shall not goH3381 downH3381 with you; for his 3brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he aloneH905 is leftH7604. 4If harmH611 should befallH7122 him on the journeyH1870 5you are takingH1980, then you will 6bringH3381 my grayH7872 hairH7872 downH3381 to SheolH7585 in sorrowH3015.”
