exterminated their armies, though he had but few men with
him? Or hast thou not heard what my two sons Simon and

destroyed
on account of their sister Dinah? Benjamin consoled
them for the loss of Joseph. What, then, will they do
unto him that stretcheth forth the hand of power to snatch
him away from them?
