New King James Version

Genesis 44:32-34 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

33. Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as 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, lest perhaps I see the evil that would come upon my father?”
