Genesis 44:30-32

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁰ Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life and his soul knit with the lad’s soul,

³¹ When he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die; and your servants will be responsible for his death and will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

³² For your servant became security for the lad to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.
