Genesis 43:8

Joseph's Brothers Return To Egypt

⁷ And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother? ⁸ Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction. ⁹ Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
