|
22. And we said H559 unto H413 my lord H113 , The lad H5288 cannot H3808 H3201 leave H5800 H853 his father H1 : for if he should leave H5800 H853 his father H1 , his father would die H4191 .
|
|
23. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
|
23. And thou saidst H559 unto H413 thy servants H5650 , Except H518 H3808 your youngest H6996 brother H251 come down H3381 with H854 you , ye shall see H7200 my face H6440 no H3808 more H3254 .

|
|
25. And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
|
25. And our father H1 said H559 , Go again H7725 , and buy H7666 us a little H4592 food H400 .
|
|
26. And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man�s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
|
26. And we said H559 , We cannot H3808 H3201 go down H3381 : if H518 our youngest H6996 brother H251 be H3426 with H854 us , then will we go down H3381 : for H3588 we may H3201 not H3808 see H7200 the man H376 's face H6440 , except H369 our youngest H6996 brother H251 be with H854 us.
|
|
27. And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
|
27. And thy servant H5650 my father H1 said H559 unto H413 us, Ye H859 know H3045 that H3588 my wife H802 bore H3205 me two H8147 sons :
|
|
28. and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
|
28. And the one H259 went out H3318 from H4480 H854 me , and I said H559 , Surely H389 he is torn in pieces H2963 H2963 ; and I saw H7200 him not H3808 since H5704 H2008 :
|
|
29. and if ye take this one also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
|
29. And if ye take H3947 H853 this H2088 also H1571 from H4480 H5973 me H6440 , and mischief H611 befall H7136 him , ye shall bring down H3381 H853 my gray hairs H7872 with sorrow H7451 to the grave H7585 .
|
|
30. Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad�s life;
|
30. Now H6258 therefore when I come H935 to H413 thy servant H5650 my father H1 , and the lad H5288 be not H369 with H854 us ; seeing that his life H5315 is bound up H7194 in the lad's life H5315 ;
|
|
31. it shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not {cf15i with us}, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
|
31. It shall come to pass H1961 , when he seeth H7200 that H3588 the lad H5288 is not H369 with us , that he will die H4191 : and thy servants H5650 shall bring down H3381 H853 the gray hairs H7872 of thy servant H5650 our father H1 with sorrow H3015 to the grave H7585 .
|
|
32. For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
|
32. For H3588 thy servant H5650 became surety H6148 for H853 the lad H5288 unto H4480 H5973 my father H1 , saying H559 , If H518 I bring H935 him not H3808 unto H413 thee , then I shall bear the blame H2398 to my father H1 forever H3605 H3117 .
|
|
33. Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
|
33. Now H6258 therefore , I pray thee H4994 , let thy servant H5650 abide H3427 instead of H8478 the lad H5288 a bondman H5650 to my lord H113 ; and let the lad H5288 go up H5927 with H5973 his brethren H251 .
|
|
34. For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
|
34. For H3588 how H349 shall I go up H5927 to H413 my father H1 , and the lad H5288 be not H369 with H854 me? lest peradventure H6435 I see H7200 the evil H7451 that H834 shall come on H4672 H853 my father H1 .
