Genesis 44:30-32

30“Our father’s life is wrapped up with the boy’s life. If I come ⌞home⌟ without the boy

31and he sees that the boy isn’t ⌞with me⌟, he’ll die. The grief would drive our gray-haired old father to his grave.

32“I guaranteed my father that the boy would come back. I said, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, then you can blame me the rest of my life, Father.’
