Genesis 42:21-24

21And they saidH559 oneH376 to another, We are verily guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in that we sawH7200 the distressH6869 of his soulH5315, whenH834 he besought us, and we would not hearH8085; thereforeH3651 is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us. 22And ReubenH7205 answered them, sayingH559, Spake I not unto you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore alsoH1571, behold, his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875. 23And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understood them; for there was an interpreter between them. 24And he turnedH7725 himself about from them, and weptH1058; and he returnedH7725 to them, and spake to them, and tookH3947 SimeonH8095 from among them, and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869.
