Legacy Standard Bible
36 And their father Jacob said to them, “You have (A)bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.” 37 Then 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 hand, and I will return him to you.” 38 But [a]Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his (B)brother is dead, and he alone remains. (C)If harm should befall him on the journey on which you are going, then you will (D)bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
