Genesis 44:32 in Context — Genesis 44
30 Maintenant, si je retourne auprès de ton serviteur, mon père, sans avoir avec nous l’enfant à l’âme duquel son âme est attachée,
31 il mourra, en voyant que l’enfant n’y est pas; et tes serviteurs feront descendre avec douleur dans le séjour des morts les cheveux blancs de ton serviteur, notre père.
32 Car ton serviteur a répondu pour l’enfant, en disant à mon père: Si je ne le ramène pas auprès de toi, je serai pour toujours coupable envers mon père.
33 Permets donc, je te prie, à ton serviteur de rester à la place de l’enfant, comme esclave de mon seigneur; et que l’enfant remonte avec ses frères.
34 Comment pourrai-je remonter vers mon père, si l’enfant n’est pas avec moi? Ah! Que je ne voie point l’affliction de mon père!
