Genesis 44:32-34 ▼

32 Indeed, your servant pledged security for the boy with my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then I will bear the blame before my father all my life.'

33 So now, please let your servant remain as my lord's slave instead of the boy. As for the boy, let him go back with his brothers.

34 For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn't bear to see my father's pain.|
