Genesis 42:21

They said one to another— Nothing can more strongly or beautifully picture to us the power of conscience, and the utility of affliction to awaken that power, than this conversation, and these mutual reproaches. We see, in their representation, the little innocent Joseph stretching out his tender hands, and pleading to them for mercy, while they, full of sarcastic envy and savage barbarity, consign him to destruction; we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear. This circumstance is omitted in the 37th chapter, which shews us that the sacred writers do not relate every particular.
