ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૪૪:૨૦
અમે અમારા ઘણીને કહ્યું હતું કે, ‘અમારે વૃદ્ધ પિતા છે અને પિતાને મોટી ઉંમરે મળેલ પુત્ર એટલે અમારો નાનો ભાઈ છે. તેનો ભાઈ મૃત્યુ પામ્યો છે અને તેની માતાને તે એકલો જ પુત્ર બાકી રહ્યો છે તેથી તેના પિતા તેના પર ખૂબ પ્રેમ કરે છે.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४४:२०
और हमने अपने प्रभु से कहा, ‘हाँ, हमारा बूढ़ा पिता है, और उसके बुढ़ापे का एक छोटा सा बालक भी है, परन्तु उसका भाई मर गया है, इसलिए वह अब अपनी माता का अकेला ही रह गया है, और उसका पिता उससे स्नेह रखता है।’
