Genesis 44:32-34 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

32. For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then let me bear the blame before my father forever.'

33. Now, therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

34. For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me-for fear that I see the evil that would overtake my father?"
