Genesis 44:32-34

Jubilee Bible 2000

³² For thy slave became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the sin before my father for ever.

³³ Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy slave remain instead of the lad as a bond slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren.

³⁴ For how shall I go up to my father and the lad not be with me? I cannot go lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
