Genesis 42:21-23

The Voice

Joseph’s Brothers (to each other): ²¹ Now at last, we are paying the penalty for what we did to our brother. We saw his anguish when he pleaded with us, but we wouldn’t listen. Now that very anguish has come to us.

Reuben: ²² Didn’t I tell you not to harm the boy? But you wouldn’t listen. Now we will all pay for spilling his blood!
