21And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 us, and we would not hearH8085; therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us. 22And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, Did I not speakH559 to you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the young manH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875. 23And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them ; for he spoke to them by an interpreterH3887.1 24And he turned himself awayH5437 from them, and weptH1058; and returned to them againH7725, and spokeH1696 with them, and tookH3947 from them SimeonH8095, and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869.
