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 igitur si intravero ad servum tuum patrem nostrum et puer defuerit cum anima illius ex huius anima pendeat

31 videritque eum non esse nobiscum morietur et deducent famuli tui canos eius cum dolore ad inferos

32 ego proprie servus tuus qui in meam hunc recepi fidem et spopondi dicens nisi reduxero eum peccati reus ero in patrem meum omni tempore

33 manebo itaque servus tuus pro puero in ministerium domini mei et puer ascendat cum fratribus suis

34 non enim possum redire ad patrem absente puero ne calamitatis quae oppressura est patrem meum testis adsistam
