Genesis 44:27-34
Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons;and the one left me, and I said,“ Surely he is torn to pieces,” and I have not seen him since.If you also take this one from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us— since our father’s life is so attached to the boy’s life—when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow.For your servant accepted responsibility for the boy from my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then my father can let me take the blame forever.’So now, please let your servant remain as a slave to my lord instead of the boy, and let the boy go up with his brothers.For how shall I go up to my father if the boy is not with me? I fear that I may see the evil that would overtake my father.”
