Book of Jubilees 43:13
Now rather let me, thy servant, abide instead of the boy as a bondsman unto my lord, and let the lad go with his brethren, for I became surety for him at the hand of thy servant our father, and if I do not bring him back, thy servant will hear the blame to our father for ever.'
Background and history of Book of Jubilees, and issues with this book.
R. H. Charles, The Book of Jubilees, in The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, vol. 2 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913). Public domain in the United States (published 1913). Charles died in 1931, so the book is in the public domain in the United Kingdom. The verse text is the Joshua Williams transcription at pseudepigrapha.com. Jubilees 1:8 and 1:9 are divided at the break in the 1902 Clarendon scan (archive.org bookofjubileesor00char), where verse 9 begins “For they will forget.” That scan also numbers the angel-of-the-presence sentence as 1:29. Editorial brackets in the translation are Charles’s.
