32 For your servant became surety for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I fail to bring him to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.’
33 “Now therefore, please let your servant stay as a slave to my lord instead of the boy, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
34 For how can I go up to my father if the boy is not with me, lest perhaps I see the evil that would find my father?”
