Genesis 44:29

WEB

If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.'

KJV

And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Commentary

And if ye take this also from me,.... His son Benjamin, as he perhaps suspected they had taken Joseph, and made away with him: and mischief befall him; either in Egypt, or on the road, going or returning, any ill accident, especially death, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, or what may issue in it: ye shall bring my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave; it would be the means of his death, and while he lived he should be full of sorrow and grief; see Gen 42:38 .
