Genesis 44:32-34

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³² Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.

³³ Therefore I thy servant will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren.

³⁴ For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
