30. “And now, if I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us – since his own life is bound up in his life –
31. then it shall be, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he shall die. So your servants shall bring down the grey hair of your servant our father with evil to the grave.
32. “For your servant went guaranty for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall be a sinner before my father forever.’
33. “And now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
34. “For how do I go up to my father if the boy is not with me, lest I see the evil that would come upon my father?”
