Genesis 44:34 DBY

³²  For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.

³³  And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;

³⁴  for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? -- lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
