TT · Parashas Mikeitz · Passuk 43:9
אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֶֽעֶרְבֶ֔נּוּ מִיָּדִ֖י תְּבַקְשֶׁ֑נּוּ אִם־לֹ֨א הֲבִיאֹתִ֤יו אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ וְהִצַּגְתִּ֣יו לְפָנֶ֔יךָ וְחָטָ֥אתִֽי לְךָ֖ כׇּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃
I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible: if I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I shall stand guilty before you forever.
Torah Temimah points to Bava Batra / Gittin discussions of arevut (suretyship).
אנכי אערבנו. אמר רב הונא, מניין לערב [קבלן] שמשתעבד, דכתיב אנכי אערבנו מידי תבקשנו.
English of Core Text: “I will be surety for him…” Rav Huna said: From where do we know that a surety who is a “kablan” becomes obligated? As it is written, “I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him.”
On the daf / in context: The Gemara distinguishes ordinary suretyship from the stronger form of kablan (one who says “give him and I will repay”), deriving the latter from Yehudah’s language.
Type of Learning: Derash on the verse (Bavli) — not a formal named middah of the 13; the sugya extracts a rule of arevut from Yehudah’s pledge.
What Is Learned: Yehudah’s formula “I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him” establishes the model of the kablan surety who becomes fully obligated.
