Genesis 44:31-33

Christian Standard Bible

³¹ when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hairs of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow. ³² Your servant became accountable to my father for the boy, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will always bear the guilt for sinning against you, my father.’^{(A) 33} Now please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave, in place of the boy. Let him go back with his brothers.
