35 When they were emptying their sacks, there was each man’s bag of money in his sack! When they and their father saw the bags of money, they were afraid. 36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You are making me childless! Joseph is gone.[a] Simeon is gone.[b] And now you want to take[c] Benjamin! Everything is against me.”
37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may[d] put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my care[e] and I will bring him back to you.”
