NETBible

If you take¹ this one from me too and an accident happens to him, then you will bring down my gray hair² in tragedy³ to the grave.’⁴

NET Notes

¹tn The construction uses a perfect verbal form with the vav consecutive to introduce the conditional clause and then another perfect verbal form with a vav consecutive to complete the sentence: “if you take…then you will bring down.”

²sn The expression bring down my gray hair is figurative, using a part for the whole – they would put Jacob in the grave. But the gray head signifies a long life of worry and trouble. See Gen 42:38.

³tn Heb “evil/calamity.” The term is different than the one used in the otherwise identical statement recorded in v. 31 (see also 42:38).

⁴tn Heb “to Sheol,” the dwelling place of the dead.
