I fear before the Lord? And now thy judgments are

whom thou adjurest. Yet I am honourable as thou
art, and my father is honourable as Pharoh thy lord is,
by whom thou dost adjure. Can I not swear by the
life of the head of my father, and not lie? For if I
draw my sword from within its sheath, I would not
return it till I had filled all the land of Mizraim with
the slain; to its sheath I would not return it, till I
had made all Mizraim desolate of inhabitants, beginning
with thyself, and ending with Pharoh thy lord, were it
not against the will of my father. Or, hath it not
been heard by thee, or not told thee, what my two
brothers Shimeon and Levi did, who went up against
the town of Shekem while they were dwelling in
security, and killed every male by the edge of the
sword, because they had corrupted Dinah our sister,
who hath not been numbered in the tribes, nor hath
portion or inheritance with us in the dividing of the
land? By how much more then (shall it be done) for
Benjamin our brother, who is numbered with us among
the tribes, and who hath portion and inheritance with
us in the dividing of the land? And my force is more
unyielding than theirs, because I have become the
sponsor for the youth at the hands of my father, saying,
If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, I
will be guilty with thee and be removed from thy
salutation all the days. Hast thou not heard, or hath it
not been told thee, that in the land of Kenaan we are
kings and princes, as thou art?
