Genesis 42:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us.

²² And Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required.

²³ And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.
