## Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit ##

The word “behold” here shows that Reuben was surprised to find out Joseph was gone. Alternate translation: "Reuben returned to the pit, and was surprised to see that Joseph was not there."

## He tore his clothes ##

This is an act of deep distress or grief.

## Where is the boy? And I, where will I go? ##

Reuben uses questions for emphasis. Alternate translation: "The boy is gone! I cannot go back home now!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
