Genesis 42:37 in Context — Genesis 42
35 Lorsqu’ils vidèrent leurs sacs, voici, le paquet d’argent de chacun était dans son sac. Ils virent, eux et leur père, leurs paquets d’argent, et ils eurent peur.
36 Jacob, leur père, leur dit: Vous me privez de mes enfants! Joseph n’est plus, Siméon n’est plus, et vous prendriez Benjamin! C’est sur moi que tout cela retombe.
37 Ruben dit à son père: Tu feras mourir mes deux fils si je ne te ramène pas Benjamin; remets-le entre mes mains, et je te le ramènerai.
38 Jacob dit: Mon fils ne descendra point avec vous; car son frère est mort, et il reste seul; s’il lui arrivait un malheur dans le voyage que vous allez faire, vous feriez descendre mes cheveux blancs avec douleur dans le séjour des morts.
