Genesis 44:31-33

New American Standard Bible

³¹ when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will ^(A)bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow. ³² For your servant ^(B)accepted responsibility for the boy from my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then ^[a]my father can let me take the blame forever.’ ³³ So now, please let your servant remain as a slave to my lord instead of the boy, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
