Genesis 42:21-23 - They said to one another, "Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come upon us."
Reuben replied, "Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn't listen! Now we must give an accounting for his blood." They did not realize that Joseph could understand them, since he was using an interpreter.
I wonder how long it had taken Joseph to learn the Egyptian language. Had Potiphar provided someone to teach him, or did he just have to pick it up as he went along?
