Genesis 43:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Then Judah urged his father Israel: “Let the boy go with me, that we may be off and on our way if you and we and our children are to keep from starving to death.(A) 9 I myself will serve as a guarantee for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him back and set him before you, I will bear the blame before you forever.(B) 10 Had we not delayed, we could have been there and back twice by now!”
