29. and he said, “I am an old man. If you take Benjamin from me, and something happens to him, I will die of a broken heart.”

31. that he will die if Benjamin doesn't come back with me.

32. I promised my father that I would bring him safely home. If I don't, I told my father he could blame me the rest of my life.

33. Sir, I am your slave. Please let me stay here in place of Benjamin and let him return home with his brothers.

34. How can I face my father if Benjamin isn't with me? I couldn't bear to see my father in such sorrow.
