Genesis 44:30-32

Expanded Bible

³⁰ Now what will happen if we go home to [^Lyour servant] our father without our ·youngest [smallest] brother? ·He is so important in our father’s life [^LAnd his life/soul is so bound up in his life/soul] that ³¹ when our father sees the young boy is not with us, he will die. ·And it will be our fault. We will cause the great sorrow that kills our father [^LYour servants will have brought the gray head of your servant to Sheol in grief].

³² “·I gave my father a guarantee that the young boy would be safe [^LFor your servant provided surety for the young boy for his father]. I said to my father, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, ·you can blame me [^LI will be condemned before my father] all my life.’
