Genesis 44:32-34 ▼

32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'

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

34 For how will I go up to my father if the boy isn’t with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come on my father.|
