27 Thereupon thy servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons;
28 and that one went out from me and you said he was devoured by a wild beast and I have not seen him since.
29 If therefore you take this one also from me and any misfortune happen to him on the journey, you will bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore if I should go to thy servant our father and this son be not with us, as his life dependeth on the life of this son,
31 it will come to pass that when he shall see that this son is not with us he will die. Thus will thy servants bring down the old age of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32 Besides as thy servant received this son from his father and said, If I bring him not back to thee and set him before thee, let me be as a sinner against my father for ever;
33 now therefore let me stay with thee instead of him as a slave to my lord, and let this son go up with his brothers [for how can I go up to my father and this son not with us?] that I may not see the evils which will befal my father.
