Talmud for Genesis 42:36
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ יַעֲקֹ֣ב אֲבִיהֶ֔ם אֹתִ֖י שִׁכַּלְתֶּ֑ם יוֹסֵ֤ף אֵינֶ֙נּוּ֙ וְשִׁמְע֣וֹן אֵינֶ֔נּוּ וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִ֣ן תִּקָּ֔חוּ עָלַ֖י הָי֥וּ כֻלָּֽנָה׃
And Jacob their father said unto them: ‘Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away; upon me are all these things come.’
Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat
Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: If a bone was stuck in his throat he puts of the same kind on top of his head and this is not of ways of the Emorite233Addition of G which here becomes illegible.. Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob stated: you shall neither divine nor use incantations224Lev. 19:26.. Even through there is no divining there are signs, but only after three portents225If something happened to a person three times he may assume that he is prone to this kind of accident, as Jacob feared for Benjamin’s life because he already had lost a wife and two sons.; for example when I came from Padan, Rachel died on me226Gen. 48:7.; Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin227Gen. 42:36., etc
