Genesis 42:22 in Context — Genesis 42
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.
23 Ils ne savaient pas que Joseph comprenait, car il se servait avec eux d’un interprète.
24 Il s’éloigna d’eux, pour pleurer. Il revint, et leur parla; puis il prit parmi eux Siméon, et le fit enchaîner sous leurs yeux.
