Genesis 42:35-38

35Now it came about, as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, 1every man’s bag of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bags of money, they were afraid.

36And their father Jacob said to them, “You have 2deprived me of my sons: Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.”

37Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my 3care, and I will return him to you.”

38But 4Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his 5brother is dead, and he alone is left. 6If harm should happen to him on the journey 7you are taking, then you will 8bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
