⁸ Then Judah said to his father ·Jacob [^LIsrael; 32:28], “Send ·Benjamin [^Lthe lad/child] with me, and we will ·go at once [^Lrise up and go] so that we, you, and our ·children [little ones] may live and not die. ⁹ I will ·guarantee you that he will be safe [^Lbe a guarantee for him], and I will be personally ·responsible [accountable] for him. If I don’t bring him back to you, ·you can blame me [^LI will be condemned before you] all my life. ¹⁰ If we had not ·wasted all this time [been delayed], we could have already ·made two trips [returned twice].”
