Genesis 44:32-34 ▼

32 For your servant guaranteed the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father all the days.’

33 And now, please, let your servant remain instead of the boy as a servant to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.

34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the boy is not with me? Lest I see the evil that will find my father.”
