Genesis 44:32 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 44:32

For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father
Which is another argument used for the release of Benjamin, though he should be detained for him, which he offers to be: saying, if I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame unto
my father for ever; (See Gill on Genesis 43:9).

Genesis 44:32 In-Context

30 Now therfore whe I come to thy servaunt my father yf the lad be not with me: seinge that his lyfe hageth by the laddes lyfe

31 then as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come he will dye. So shall we thy servautes brynge the gray hedde of thy servaunt oure father with sorow vnto the grave.

32 For I thy servaunt became suertie for the lad vnto my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne. I will bere the blame all my life loge.

33 Now therfore let me thy servaunt byde here for ye lad and be my lordes bondman: and let the lad goo home with his brethern.

34 For how can I goo vnto my father and the lad not wyth me: lest I shulde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.
