Genesis 42:20

¹⁸And he said to them on the third day, This do, and ye shall live, for I fear God.

¹⁹If ye be peaceable, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go ye, and carry back the corn ye have purchased.

— Genesis 42:20 —

²¹And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we hearkened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.

²²And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and ye heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
