Genesis 43:8-10
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, (A)that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones. 9 (B)I myself will be surety for him; [a]you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then [b]let me bear the blame before you forever. 10 For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice.”
