“So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life

“Now therefore, as soon as I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us, then, as his life is bound up in the boy’s life

“And now, my lord, I cannot go back to my father without the boy. Our father’s life is bound up in the boy’s life.

“So if I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us — his life is wrapped up with the boy’s life 

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 your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life

“And now, can’t you see that if I show up before your servant, my father, without the boy, this son with whom his life is so bound up, the moment he realizes the boy is gone, he’ll die on the spot. He’ll die of grief and we, your servants who are standing here before you, will have killed him. And that’s not all. I got my father to release the boy to show him to you by promising, ‘If I don’t bring him back, I’ll stand condemned before you, Father, all my life.’

So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since our father’s life is so attached to the boy’s life

Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the young man is not with us, since his life is bound up in the young man’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.
