In Genesis 44:8, the brothers continue their defense by citing their honesty with the returned money — directly building on the protest in verse 7.

In Genesis 37, these same brothers conspired to kill and sell Joseph — their protest of innocence here is deeply ironic given their past treachery.

In Joshua 22:22-29, the tribes declare 'God forbid that we should rebel' — a direct linguistic parallel to the brothers' protest of innocence.

In Joshua 22:29, the same phrase 'God forbid' is used in a denial of rebellion — a precise verbal parallel.

In 2 Samuel 20:20, Joab says 'Far be it from me' — a similar Hebrew idiom of denial, echoing the brothers' protest.
