Genesis 42:20 in Context — Genesis 42
18 Le troisième jour, Joseph leur dit: Faites ceci, et vous vivrez. Je crains Dieu!
19 Si vous êtes sincères, que l’un de vos frères reste enfermé dans votre prison; et vous, partez, emportez du blé pour nourrir vos familles,
20 et amenez-moi votre jeune frère, afin que vos paroles soient éprouvées et que vous ne mouriez point. Et ils firent ainsi.
21 Ils se dirent alors l’un à l’autre: Oui, nous avons été coupables envers notre frère, car nous avons vu l’angoisse de son âme, quand il nous demandait grâce, et nous ne l’avons point écouté! C’est pour cela que cette affliction nous arrive.
22 Ruben, prenant la parole, leur dit: Ne vous disais-je pas: Ne commettez point un crime envers cet enfant? Mais vous n’avez point écouté. Et voici, son sang est redemandé.
