“It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.”
As soon as he sees that the boy is not there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow. The consequence stated plainly — he will die — is the consequence that makes the plea urgent beyond all negotiation. The application: the plea that states the irreversible consequence — death — is the plea that has exhausted every other argument.
