Genesis 44:32-34

GOD’S WORD Translation

³² “I guaranteed my father that the boy would come back. I said, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, then you can blame me the rest of my life, Father.’ ³³ Sir, please let me stay and be your slave in the boy’s place, and let the boy go back with his brothers. ³⁴ How could I go back to my father if the boy isn’t with me? I couldn’t bear to see my father’s misery!”
