Genesis 44:31-33

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³¹ when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die; and your servants will bring down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. ³² For your servant became surety for the boy to my father, saying, “If I do not bring him back to you, then I will bear the blame in the sight of my father all my life.” ³³ Now therefore, please let your servant remain as a slave to my lord in place of the boy; and let the boy go back with his brothers.
