Genesis 42:22 in Context — Genesis 42

20 Porém haveis de trazer-me a vosso irmão mais novo, e serão comprovadas vossas palavras, e não morrereis. E eles o fizeram assim.

21 E diziam um ao outro: Verdadeiramente pecamos contra nosso irmão, que vimos a angústia de sua alma quando nos rogava, e não o ouvimos; por isso veio sobre nós esta angústia.

22 Então Rúben lhes respondeu, dizendo: Não vos falei eu e disse: Não pequeis contra o jovem; e não escutastes? Eis que também o sangue dele é requerido.

23 E eles não sabiam que os entendia José, porque havia intérprete entre eles.
