Gen 44:16And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? [fn]whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of thy servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.

Gen 44:29If then ye take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall ye bring down my old age with sorrow to [fn]the grave.
Gen 44:31it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, that he will die, and thy servants will bring down the old age of thy servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave.[fn]
Gen 44:32For thy servant has received the boy in charge from his father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.
