    29'If you take this one also from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to the grave in sorrow.'

    30So now, if I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since his life is so closely bound up with the boy's life—

    31it will happen that when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought down the gray hair of your servant, our father, in sorrow to the grave.

    32For your servant took responsibility for the boy before my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.'

    33Now, therefore, please let your servant remain here as a slave to my lord in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.

    34For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come upon my father.
