Didn’t I tell you? Don’t hurt the boy, I said. You wouldn’t listen. And now we’re paying for his blood.

Firstborn. Tried to fix it.
Jacob’s eldest son, Leah’s first. Every time something goes wrong in this family I seem to be in the middle of it, one way or another. I tried to save Joseph. I didn’t manage it.

Didn’t I tell you not to hurt the boy? Didn’t I? You wouldn’t listen. And now we’re paying for his blood.

Told Dad: put him in my hands. I’ll bring him back to you myself.
I stood at an empty pit and said the boy is gone. He’s standing in front of me.
Reuben comes back to the pit, and it’s empty. He tears his clothes and goes back to the others. The boy is gone. What am I going to do?
