Bereshis 42:20-22

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁰ But bring achichem hakaton unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

²¹ And they said one to another, Surely we are ashemim (guilty ones) because of achinu (our brother), in that we saw the tzoros of his nefesh, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this tzoros come upon us.

²² And Reuven answered them, saying, Spoke I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the yeled; and ye would not hear? Therefore, hinei, the accounting for his dahm is required [of us (see Mt 27:25 OJBC)].
