Genesis 44:30-32

New Century Version

³⁰ Now what will happen if we go home to our father without our youngest brother? He is so important in our father’s life 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.

³² “I gave my father a guarantee that the young boy would be safe. I said to my father, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, you can blame me all my life.’
