13.2 to the Valley of the Pine. And he entered the fortress of his younger brother, and he found his younger brother lying
13.3 on his bed, dead; and he wept when he saw his younger brother lying in death; and he went
13.4 to seek the heart of his younger brother under the pine where his younger brother used to sleep in the evening.
13.5 And he spent three years seeking it, and did not find it; but when the fourth year began for him, his heart wished to return to Egypt.
13.6 And he said: "I shall go in the morning" — so he said in his heart. And when the land grew bright, a second day having come, he began
13.7 to walk under the pine; and he spent the day seeking it; and he returned at evening; and he spent time seeking it again.

13.2 to the Valley of the Pine. And he went into the fortified house of his younger brother, and he found his younger brother lying
13.3 on his bed, dead. And he wept when he saw his younger brother lying in death. And he went
13.4 to search for my heart, the heart of his younger brother, under the pine where his younger brother slept in the evening.
13.5 He spent three years searching for it, and he did not find it. But when the fourth year began for him,
13.6 his heart wanted to come to Egypt. And he said: "I will go in the morning"—so he said in his heart. Then, when the land grew light on the next day,
13.7 he began to walk about under the pine. He spent the day searching for it, and he came home in the evening. He spent time searching for it again,
13.8 and he found a grape. And he came home carrying it. And this was the heart of his younger brother, my heart! Then he brought
13.9 a bowl of cool water, and he put it into it, and he sat down in his way of every day. Then, when night had come,
