COMMENTARY ON GENESIS
25. And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
25. Dixit pater noster, Revertimini, emite nobis pusillum escae.
26. And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
26. Et diximus, non possumus descendere: si fuerit frater noster minimus nobiscum, descendemus: quia non possumus videre faciem viri illus, fratre nostro minimo non existente nobiscum.
27. And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
27. Tune dixit servus tuus pater meus nobis, Vos nostis quod duos peperit mihi uxor mea.
28. And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
28. Egressus est unus a me, et dixi, Certe rapiendo raptus est: et non vidi eum hactenus.
29. And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
29. Et capietis etiam hunc a facie mea, et accidet ei mors, descendereque facietis canitiem meam in malo ad sepulcrum.
30. Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is
30. Nune ergo quum venero ad servum tuum patrem meum, et puer non fuerit nobiscum, (et anima ejus ligata est cum anima ipsius): bound up in the lad's life;
31. It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
31. Erit sane, quum viderit ipse quod non sit puer, morietur, et descendere facient servi tui canitiem servi tui patris nostri cum colore ad sepulcrum.
