וּ⁠לְקַחְתֶּ֧ם גַּם אֶת זֶ֛ה מֵ⁠עִ֥ם פָּנַ֖⁠י

and,take also/yet DOM this from, presence_of,me

Consider what is the best way to translate the hypothetical sentence in this verse. Make sure all the parts of the sentence fit together well. Alternate translation: “So if you also take this son away from me,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠קָרָ֣⁠הוּ אָס֑וֹן

and,comes_to,him harm

See how you translated a similar clause in Gen 42:38. Alternate translation: “and something terrible happens to him,” or “and if anything bad happens to him,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הֽוֹרַדְתֶּ֧ם אֶת שֵׂיבָתִ֛⁠י בְּ⁠רָעָ֖ה

and,bring_~_down DOM gray_hairs,my in/on/at/with,sorrow

See how you translated bring my gray head down in Gen 42:38. Alternate translation: “you will cause me, your elderly father, to grieve so deeply that I will die and go down” or “you will cause me, your elderly father, so much sorrow that I will die and go down”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

שְׁאֹֽלָ⁠ה

sheol,to

Sheol is the Hebrew name for the world of the dead, that is, the place where the spirits of all people go after they die. You could put that information in a footnote. Your translation of Sheol should not refer to hell or a place of punishment. Some translations have “the grave” here, but that leaves out the idea of an afterlife that this sentence implies.
