Genesis 44:30-32

30“And now, my lord, I cannot go back to my father without the boy. Our father’s life is bound up in the boy’s life.

31If he sees that the boy is not with us, our father will die. We, your servants, will indeed be responsible for sending that grieving, white-haired man to his grave.

32My lord, I guaranteed to my father that I would take care of the boy. I told him, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, I will bear the blame forever.’
