Genesis 43:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. ⁹ I will serve as a guarantee for him. You can hold me accountable for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him in front of you, then let me bear the blame forever. ¹⁰ Look, if we had not delayed, we certainly could have returned for a second time by now.”
