    29'If you take this one also from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to the grave in sorrow.'

    30So now, if I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since his life is so closely bound up with the boy's life—

    34For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come upon my father.
