“And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?”
Israel asked: why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man you had another brother? The question of blame — why did you tell him — is the natural human response of someone who feels trapped by others' transparency. The application: the impulse to blame those who told the truth for the trouble that the truth has created is the impulse that misidentifies the cause of the problem.
