Therefore, you bear witness that you approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.

Then he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, that they not also come to this place of torment.
