But Jacob said,“ My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow.”

But Jacob said,“ My son will not go down there with you. His brother is dead. He’s the only one left here with me. Suppose he’s harmed on the journey you are taking. Then I would die as a sad old man.”

But he said,“ My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”

But Jacob replied,“ My son will not go down with you. His brother Joseph is dead, and he is all I have left. If anything should happen to him on your journey, you would send this grieving, white haired man to his grave.”

But Jacob answered,“ My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If anything happens to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hairs down to Sheol in sorrow.”

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

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

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left: if harm befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.

But Jacob answered,“ My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If anything happens to him on your journey, you will bring my gray hairs down to Sheol in sorrow.”

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

But Jacob replied,“ My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If an accident happens to him on the journey you have to make, then you will bring down my gray hair in sorrow to the grave.”

All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said,“ For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said,“ Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”

He recognized it, and said,“ It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”

They said,“ We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”

They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”As her soul was departing( for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

Yes, even when I am old and gray- haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

Your servant, my father, said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.One went out from me, and I said,“ Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying,‘ If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?— lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.She conceived, bore a son, and said,“ God has taken away my reproach.”She named him Joseph, saying,“ May Yahweh add another son to me.”

Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.

I said,“ In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

We said to my lord,‘ We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’
