Genesis 37:30

Verse 30

30. Whither shall I go “It is a cry of distracting anxiety, which sounds touchingly mournful and pathetic in the Hebrew, from the repetition and alliteration . Reuben afterwards reminds his brethren, in the day of their distress, of the earnestness with which he had pleaded for Joseph . Genesis 42:22. Only Reuben and Judah show any trace of humanity in this dark transaction, and they seem, on their return to their father, to be bound by the ban of silence . It is Reuben and Judah, also, that are afterwards foremost to take responsibility, and bear the blame, when they all stand before Joseph the judge. Chapters 42 and 44.” Newhall.
