Diego Velasquez, Joseph's bloody coat brought to Jacob, Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, 1630
Lamentabatur Jacob de duobus filiis suis dicens:
Heu me, dolens sum ego de Joseph perdito
et tristis nimis de Benjamin ducto pro alimoniis.
Precor caelestem regem
ut me dolentem nimium faciat eos cernere.
Jacob was lamenting for his two sons, saying:
Woe is me, I am distraught over the loss of Joseph,
and deeply sad for Benjamin, taken as surety.
I beseech the heavenly king
that he might make it possible for miserable me to see them.
