וָאֹמְרָה לָהֶם אֲנַחְנוּ קָנִינוּ אֶת ־ אַחֵינוּ הַיְּהוּדִים הַנִּמְכָּרִים לַגּוֹיִם כְּדֵי בָנוּ וְגַם ־ אַתֶּם תִּמְכְּרוּ אֶת ־ אֲחֵיכֶם וְנִמְכְּרוּ ־ לָנוּ וַֽיַּחֲרִישׁוּ וְלֹא מָצְאוּ דָּבָֽר ׃ ס

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
