And they said, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and lo, the youngest is with our father today, and one is not.

And God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

So she called his name Joseph, and said, Jehovah shall add to me another son.

And they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was still some ground to cover to arrive at Ephrath, Rachel was giving birth, and she had hard labor.

And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

And he recognized it and said, It is my son's tunic. An evil beast has devoured him. Joseph has been rent and torn to pieces.

And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, I will go down into Sheol mourning for my son. Thus his father wept for him.

And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

And your servant my father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons;

And if you take this one also from before me, and harm befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.

it shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he thought, Lest he encounter some harm.

And if you take this one also from before me, and harm befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.

And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, I will go down into Sheol mourning for my son. Thus his father wept for him.

And if you take this one also from before me, and harm befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.

it shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

Therefore do according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.

And now when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not leave me, until I have declared Your strength to this generation, and Your power to everyone who is to come.

The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of vigor they are eighty years, yet their boast is toil and wickedness; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and striving of spirit.

For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives labor, to collect and gather, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

I said at the end of of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years.

even to your old age, I am He; and to the gray hairs I will bear you. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
