Genesis 42:20-22

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁰ but bring your youngest brother unto me, so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

²¹ ¶ And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

²² Then Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak unto you, saying, Do not sin against the young man, and ye would not hear? Therefore, behold, his blood is also required.
