Genesis 43:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, so that we will live and not die—you, we, and our children. ⁹ I myself will be surety for him. You may seek him from my hand. If I do not bring him back to you and present him before you, then I will stand guilty before you forever. ¹⁰ Surely if we had not hesitated by this time we would have returned twice.”
