Genesis 42:18-25
18Now JosephH3130 saidH559 to them on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, “DoH6213 thisH2088 and liveH2421, for 1I fearH3372 GodH430: 19ifH518 you are honestH3653 menH3653, let oneH259 of your brothersH251 be confinedH631 in 2your prisonH1004H4929; but as for the rest of you, goH1980, carryH935 grainH7668 for the famineH7459 of your householdsH1004, 20and 3bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 to me, so your wordsH1697 may be verifiedH539, and you will not dieH4191.” And they didH6213 soH3651. 21Then they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “4TrulyH61 we are guiltyH818 concerningH5921 our brotherH251, becauseH834 we sawH7200 the distressH6869 of his soulH5315 when he pleadedH2603 with us, yet we would not listenH8085; thereforeH5921H3651 thisH2088 distressH6869 has comeH935 upon us.” 22ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, “5Did I not tellH559 6you, ‘Do not sinH2398 against the boyH3206’; and you would not listenH8085? 78NowH1571H2009 comesH1875 the reckoningH1875 for his bloodH1818.” 23They did not knowH3045, however, that JosephH3130 understoodH8085, for there was an interpreterH3917 betweenH996 them. 24He turnedH5437 awayH5437 from them and 9weptH1058. But when he returnedH7725 to them and spokeH1696 to them, he 10tookH3947 SimeonH8095 from them and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869. 2511Then JosephH3130 gaveH6680 ordersH6680 to fillH4390 their bagsH3627 with grainH1250 and to restoreH7725 everyH376 man’sH376 moneyH3701 in his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionsH6720 for the journeyH1870. And thusH3651 it was doneH6213 for them.
