Genesis 44:32 in context
- 30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
- 31it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
- 32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
- 33Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
- 34For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
