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

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 did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said,“ What if some accident happens to him?”

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

But Jacob said,“ My son will not go down there with you. His brother is dead. He’s the only one left here with me. Suppose he’s harmed on the journey you are taking. Then I would die as a sad old man.”

Jacob looked and saw Esau coming with his 400 men! So Jacob separated the children. He put them with Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.He put the servants and their children in front. He put Leah and her children next. And he put Rachel and Joseph last.

Joseph looked around. Then he saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son. He asked,“ Is this your youngest brother? Is he the one you told me about?” He continued,“ May God be gracious to you, my son.”

They moved on from Bethel. Ephrath wasn’t very far away when Rachel began to have a baby. She was having a very hard time of it.The woman who helped her saw that she was having problems. So she said to Rachel,“ Don’t be afraid. You have another son.”But Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Ben- Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.So Rachel died. She was buried beside the road to Ephrath. Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.

Then they said,“ Come on! Let’s build a city for ourselves. Let’s build a tower that reaches to the sky. We’ll make a name for ourselves. Then we won’t be scattered over the whole earth.”

May the Mighty God cause him to show you mercy. May the man let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you. And if I lose my sons, I lose them.”

“ Your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife had two sons by me.One of them went away from me. And I said,“ He must have been torn to pieces.” I haven’t seen him since.What if you take this one from me too and he is harmed? Then you would cause me to die as a sad old man. I would go down into the grave full of pain and suffering.’“ So now, what will happen if the boy isn’t with us when I go back to my father? His life depends on the boy’s life.When he sees that the boy isn’t with us, he’ll die. Because of us, he’ll go down into the grave as a sad old man.I promised my father I would keep the boy safe. I said,‘ Father, I’ll bring him back to you. If I don’t, you can put the blame on me for the rest of my life.’“ Now then, please let me stay here. Let me be your slave in place of the boy. Let the boy return with his brothers.How can I go back to my father if the boy isn’t with me? No! Don’t let me see the pain and suffering that would come to my father.”

We answered,‘ We have an old father. A young son was born to him when he was old. His brother is dead. He’s the only one of his mother’s sons left. And his father loves him.’“ Then you said to us,‘ Bring him down to me. I want to see him for myself.’We said to you,‘ The boy can’t leave his father. If he does, his father will die.’

The Lord God said,“ Just like one of us, the man can now tell the difference between good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out and pick fruit from the tree of life and eat it. If he does, he will live forever.”
