Genesis 42:18-24
42:18 On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do as I say
and you will live,
for I fear God.
42:19 If you are honest men, leave one of your brothers confined here in prison
while the rest of you go
and take grain back for your hungry families.
42:20 But you must bring
your youngest brother to me. Then
your words will be verified
and you will not die.” They did as he said.
42:21 They said to one other, “Surely we’re being punished because of our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he cried to us for mercy, but we refused to listen. That is why this distress has come on us!”
42:22 Reuben said to them, “Didn’t I say to you, ‘Don’t sin against the boy,’ but you wouldn’t listen? So now we must pay for shedding his blood!”
42:23 (Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, for he was speaking through an interpreter.)
42:24 He turned away from them and wept. When he turned around and spoke to them again, he had Simeon taken from them and tied up before their eyes.
