Bereshis 42:22-24

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²² And Reuven answered them, saying, Spoke I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the yeled; and ye would not hear? Therefore, hinei, the accounting for his dahm is required [of us (see Mt 27:25 OJBC)].

²³ And they had no da’as that Yosef understood them; for he spoke unto them by the melitz (go-between, interpreter).

²⁴ And he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Shimon, and bound him before their eyes.
