Genesis 42:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ Speaking among themselves, they said, “This has all happened because of what we did to Joseph long ago. We saw his terror and anguish and heard his pleadings, but we wouldn’t listen.”

²² “Didn’t I tell you not to do it?” Reuben asked. “But you wouldn’t listen. And now we are going to die because we murdered him.”

²³ Of course they didn’t know that Joseph understood them as he was standing there, for he had been speaking to them through an interpreter.
