Genesis 44:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 Then when he shall see that the child is not come, he will die: so shall thy servants bring down the gray head of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32 Doubtless thy servant became surety for the child to my father, and, (A)If I bring him not unto thee again, then I will bear the blame unto my father forever.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let me thy servant abide for the child, as a servant to my lord, and let the child go up with his brethren.
