Jacob's [Israel's] Sons Report To Him

36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me, have ye bereaved, - Joseph, is not, and, Simeon, is not, and Benjamin, ye would take! Against me, have happened all these things. 37 Then spake Reuben unto his father saying, My two sons, shalt thou put to death, if I bring him not unto thee, - Come give him up upon my hand, and I, will restore him unto thee. 38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you, - For, his brother, is dead and, he alone, is left, and as surely as there befall him any mischief by the way wherein ye go, so surely shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow unto hades.
