Jacobs GRAY Hairs for SheOl.
When Jacob heard that Benjamin
must go on the next expedition for
wheat. he declared that il must not
be. Joseph was gone, and If now he
should lose Benjamin, the grief would
bring down his gray hairs quickly to
iSheol-the tomb-the death state.
In our common version English
Bible Sheol is repeatedly translated
. Hell. Ilt ana Grave. IN Olutn liIntr
these three words we're synonymous
When the Revised Version was in pre-
paration. the learned men charged
with that work refused to translate
Sheol by the word Hell. which has
lost fits original meaning and has
come TO mean a place OF torture. No
such meaning attaches to the Hebrew
word Sheol So these scholars decid-
ed to leave the Hebrew word and its
Greek equivalent Hadea untranslated
Our Baptist friends have recently met
with a similar difficulty. and have
translated these words as "the Under

tomb, the death state, may be thus
indicated. and none can find fault.

The story of Joseph and his breth-

their cruelty toward their brother

years after. Our Golden Text seems

intelligently, will bring a harvest Of

The famine region included Pales-
tine as we'll as Egypt Word spread
that there was no lack of food in
Egypt, and that corn belonging to the
old stock was sold there at moderate
prices. Jacob directed his sons, men
of families, to go down to Egypt and
purchase wheat.

their youngest brother with them.
The guilty consciences of the
brethren began to connect these ex-

course in the past. They said to one
another, I'VE are verify guilty con-

anguish of his soul. when he be-

US" They knew not that Joseph un-
derstood them. but he withdrew and
wept. His heart was not hard. He
was merely giving them a profitable
lesson.
