But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him.

But Jacob didn’t send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with them. He was afraid Benjamin might be harmed.

But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.

But Jacob wouldn’t let Joseph’s younger brother, Benjamin, go with them, for fear some harm might come to him.

But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he thought,“ Something might happen to him.”

But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said,“ I am afraid that harm may happen to him.”

But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said,“ Lest some calamity befall him.”

But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest Peradventure harm befall him.

But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he thought,“ Something might happen to him.”

But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said,“ Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”

But Jacob replied,“ My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. If an accident happens to him on the journey you have to make, then you will bring down my gray hair in sorrow to the grave.”

Jacob looked up and saw that Esau was coming along with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.He put the servants and their children in front, with Leah and her children behind them, and Rachel and Joseph behind them.

When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he said,“ Is this your youngest brother, whom you told me about?” Then he said,“ May God be gracious to you, my son.”

They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor– and her labor was hard.When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath( that is, Bethlehem).

Then they said,“ Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens so that we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise we will be scattered across the face of the entire earth.”

May the sovereign God grant you mercy before the man so that he may release your other brother and Benjamin! As for me, if I lose my children I lose them.”

“ Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife gave me two sons.The first disappeared and I said,“ He has surely been torn to pieces.” I have not seen him since.If you take this one from me too and an accident happens to him, then you will bring down my gray hair in tragedy to the grave.’“ So now, when I return to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us– his very life is bound up in his son’s life.When he sees the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father in sorrow to the grave.Indeed, your servant pledged security for the boy with my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I will bear the blame before my father all my life.’“ So now, please let your servant remain as my lord’s slave instead of the boy. As for the boy, let him go back with his brothers.For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear to see my father’s pain.”

We said to my lord,‘ We have an aged father, and there is a young boy who was born when our father was old. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’“ Then you told your servants,‘ Bring him down to me so I can see him.’We said to my lord,‘ The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.’

And the LORD God said,“ Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
