Genesis 43:9
Genesis 43:9 in Multiple Translations
I will guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
I promise to take care of him—I'll be personally responsible for bringing him back to you. If I don't, then I will always carry the blame!
I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.
I — I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee — then I have sinned against thee all the days;
I’ll be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don’t bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever;
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
I myself will guarantee that he will return. You can require me to do what I am promising [IDM]. If I do not bring him back to you safely, you can say forever that ◄I am to blame/it was my fault that he did not return to you►.
Then Judah said to his father, “I promise that I will look after Benjamin, and I will keep him safe until we come back. I’m telling you straight, if I don’t bring Benjamin back here to you, then you can blame me and say that I am guilty, and you can keep doing that all my life.

Context — The Return to Egypt with Benjamin
7They replied, “The man questioned us in detail about ourselves and our family: ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ And we answered him accordingly. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”
8And Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and we will go at once, so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.
9I will guarantee his safety. You may hold me personally responsible. If I do not bring him back and set him before you, then may I bear the guilt before you all my life.
10If we had not delayed, we could have come and gone twice by now.” 11Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and carry them down as a gift for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.Cross References

Genesis 43:9 Summary
In Genesis 43:9, Judah promises to guarantee Benjamin's safety, taking personal responsibility for his well-being. This means Judah is saying he will do everything in his power to ensure Benjamin returns home safely. Judah's promise shows he is willing to take on a big responsibility and face the consequences if he fails, which is similar to the idea of being a good steward, as discussed in Luke 12:42-48 and 1 Corinthians 4:2. By making this promise, Judah is demonstrating his growth in character and leadership, and we can learn from his example by being more mindful of our own responsibilities and commitments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Judah to guarantee Benjamin's safety?
Judah is taking personal responsibility for Benjamin's well-being, promising to ensure his safe return, as seen in Genesis 43:9, and this is reminiscent of the concept of a surety, where one person takes on the responsibility for another, as in Proverbs 6:1-5.
Why does Judah offer to bear the guilt before his father all his life?
Judah is showing his commitment to his promise and his willingness to accept the consequences if he fails to bring Benjamin back, demonstrating a sense of accountability and responsibility, as encouraged in Ephesians 6:1-4 and Exodus 21:1-6.
How does Judah's guarantee relate to his character development?
Judah's willingness to take on this responsibility shows growth in his character, as he is now taking initiative and showing a sense of leadership, unlike in Genesis 37:26-27, where he suggested selling Joseph into slavery.
What can we learn from Judah's example of guaranteeing Benjamin's safety?
We can learn the importance of taking personal responsibility and being accountable for our actions, as well as the value of making commitments and following through on them, as taught in Psalm 15:4 and Matthew 5:33-37.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to take personal responsibility, and how can I demonstrate accountability to God and others?
- How can I, like Judah, demonstrate leadership and initiative in my own life and relationships?
- What are some ways I can show my commitment to my promises and follow through on them, even when it's difficult?
- How can I balance my desire for control and responsibility with trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 8:28?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 43:9
I will be surety for him,.... Engage for his safe return: of my hand shall thou require him; I will be answerable for him: if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee: do not return him from
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 43:9
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 43:9
Let me bear the blame; Heb. be an offender to thee. Let me bear the guilt, and shame, and punishment due to so great an offence.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 43:9
Genesis 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:Ver. 9. I will be surety for him.] Herein he was a type of Christ, that came of him, who is both our surety to God, for the discharge of our debt and duty, and God’ s surety to us, for the performance of his promises.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 43:9
(9) Then let me bear the blame for ever.—This is much more manly and therefore more persuasive than Reuben’s talk about pledging the lives of his children. For it was real, nor would it be a slight matter to stand in his father’s presence all the rest of his life as one guilty of a grievous crime.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 43:9
Verse 9. Let me bear the blame for ever] וחטאתי לך כל הימים vechatathi lecha col haiyamim, then shall I sin against thee all my days, and consequently be liable to punishment for violating my faith.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 43:9
9. I will be surety] i.e. I will guarantee to bring him back. In Genesis 42:37 Reuben had been ready to pledge the lives of his two sons for Benjamin’s safety. Here Judah is ready to pledge his own life; see Genesis 44:32. The versions fairly reproduce the original: LXX ἐκδέχομαιαὐτόν; Lat. suscipio puerum. let me bear the blame for ever] R.V. marg. gives the literal rendering I shall have sinned against thee for ever, LXX ἡμαρτηκὼςἔσομαι, Lat. peccati reus ero. Compare the same idiom in Genesis 31:39, “I bare the loss,” and 1 Kings 1:21, “I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders” (Heb. sinners). The penalty will be proportioned to the failure.
