# Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you would not listen?
Reuben uses a question to scold his brothers. Alternate translation: "I told you not to hurt the boy, but you would not listen!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but
This has a quotation within a quotation. It can be stated as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: "Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy, but" or "I told you not to harm the boy, but" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotesinquotes]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]])
# Now, see
Here "Now" does not mean "at this moment," but both "Now" and "see" are used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
"Did I not tell you not to sin against the boy, but" or "I told you not to harm the boy, but"
# his blood is required of us
Here "blood" stands for Joseph's death. His brothers thought Joseph was dead. The phrase "is required of us" means they must be punished for what they did. Alternate translation: "we are getting what we deserve for his death" or "we are suffering for having killed him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
"we are getting what we deserve for his death" or "we are suffering for having killed him"
