Genesis 44:30-32
1599 Geneva Bible
30 Now therefore, when I come to thy servant my father, and the child be not with us (seeing that his [a]life dependeth on the child’s life.)
31 Then when he shall see that the child is not come, he will die: so shall thy servants bring down the gray head of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32 Doubtless thy servant became surety for the child to my father, and, (A)If I bring him not unto thee again, then I will bear the blame unto my father forever.
