עַד־שׁוּב֩ אַף־אָחִ֨יךָ מִמְּךָ֜ וְשָׁכַח֙ אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֣יתָ לּ֔וֹ וְשָׁלַחְתִּ֖י וּלְקַחְתִּ֣יךָ מִשָּׁ֑ם לָמָ֥ה אֶשְׁכַּ֛ל גַּם־שְׁנֵיכֶ֖ם י֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃
until your brother’s anger against you subsides and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send and fetch you from there. Why should I be bereaved of both of you in a single day?”
