American King James Version
"Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; "
— Genesis 44:30, American King James Version
“Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;”
“Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; ”
“Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy's life;”
““So now, when I return to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us– his very life is bound up in his son’s life.”
“Therefore, if I shall go to thy servant, our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,)”
“If then I go back to your servant, my father, without the boy, because his life and the boy's life are one,”
“Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;”
And your servant my father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons:
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
And if you take this also from me, and mischief befall him, you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
It shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
Now therefore, I pray you, let your servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.
