અને તેના જાણવામાં આવે કે તેનો દીકરો અમારી સાથે પાછો આવ્યો નથી તો તે આ વાતથી મૃત્યુ પામશે અને અમારે અમારા પિતાને દુઃખ સહિત દફનાવવાનાં થશે.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४४:३१
इस कारण, यह देखकर कि लड़का नहीं है, वह तुरन्त ही मर जाएगा। तब तेरे दासों के कारण तेरा दास हमारा पिता, जो बुढ़ापे की अवस्था में है, शोक के साथ अधोलोक में उतर जाएगा।

In context

29If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’

30Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

31it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.

32For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

33Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
