Genesis 44:30-32

30“So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life,

31sees that the boy isn’t there, he will die. Your servants will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave in sorrow.

32Your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father. I said, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!’
