Genesis 44:32-34

The Voice

³² I gave my father my word that I would take care of the boy and return him safely home. I told him, “If I don’t bring him back to you in one piece, then I am perfectly willing to bear the blame forever.” ³³ So please let me, your servant, remain as your slave in place of the boy; and let him go back with his brothers. ³⁴ For how can I go back to my father without the boy? I couldn’t stand to see the terrible suffering this would put him through.
