“ Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘ If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?And you say,‘ If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.

His brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’Then you said to your servants,‘ Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’We said to my lord,‘ The boy cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’Then you said to your servants,‘ Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not see my face again.’“ When we went back to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.And when our father said,‘ Go again, buy us a little food,’we said,‘ We cannot go down. If our youngest brother goes with us, then we will go down. For we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.One left me, and I said,“ Surely he has been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since.If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs in evil to Sheol.’“ Now therefore, as soon as I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us, then, as his life is bound up in the boy’s life,as soon as he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.For your servant became a pledge of safety for the boy to my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.’Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a servant to my lord, and let the boy go back with his brothers.For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I fear to see the evil that would find my father.”
