Genesis 44:31 in Context — Genesis 44

29 E se tomardes também este de diante de mim, e lhe acontecer algum desastre, fareis descer meus cabelos grisalhos com tristeza ao Xeol.

30 Agora, pois, quando chegar eu a teu servo meu pai, e o jovem não for comigo, como sua alma está ligada à alma dele,

31 Sucederá que quando perceber a ausência do jovem, morrerá; e teus servos farão descer os cabelos grisalhos de teu servo, nosso pai, com tristeza ao Xeol.

32 Como teu servo saiu por fiador do jovem com meu pai, dizendo: Se eu não o devolver a ti, então eu serei culpável para meu pai todos os dias;

33 Rogo-te, portanto, que fique agora teu servo pelo jovem por servo de meu senhor, e que o jovem vá com seus irmãos.
