35 E aconteceu que esvaziando eles seus sacos, eis que no saco de cada um estava o pacote de seu dinheiro: e vendo eles e seu pai os pacotes de seu dinheiro, tiveram temor.

36 Então seu pai Jacó lhes disse: Vós me privastes de meus filhos; José desapareceu, nem Simeão tampouco, e a Benjamim o levareis; contra mim são todas estas coisas.

37 E Rúben falou a seu pai, dizendo: Podes matar meus dois filhos, se eu não o devolver a ti; entrega-o em minha mão, que eu o devolverei a ti.

38 E ele disse: Não descerá meu filho convosco; que seu irmão é morto, e ele somente restou; e se lhe acontecer algum desastre no caminho por onde vades, fareis descer meus cabelos brancos com tristeza ao Xeol.
