31 Our father will die if he sees that the boy isn’t with us—and it will be our fault. We will send our father to his grave a very sad man.
32 “I took responsibility for the young boy. I told my father, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, you can blame me for the rest of my life.’
33 So now I beg you, please let the boy go back with his brothers, and I will stay and be your slave.
34 I cannot go back to my father if the boy is not with me. I am very afraid of what would happen to my father.”
