Genesis 42:18-25
18And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them the thirdH7992 dayH3117, This doH6213, and liveH2421; for I fearH3373 GodH430: 19If ye be trueH3651 men, let oneH259 of your brethrenH251 be boundH631 in the houseH1004 of your prisonH4929: goH3212 ye, carryH935 foodH7668 for the famineH7459 of your housesH1004: 20But bringH935 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 unto me; so shall your wordsH1697 be verifiedH539, and ye shall not dieH4191. And they didH6213 so.
21And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, We are verilyH61 guiltyH818 concerning our brotherH251, in thatH834 we sawH7200 the anguishH6869 of his soulH5315, when he besoughtH2603 us, and we would not hearH8085; therefore is this distressH6869 comeH935 upon us. 22And ReubenH7205 answeredH6030 them, sayingH559, Spake IH559 not unto you, sayingH559, Do not sinH2398 against the childH3206; and ye would not hearH8085? therefore, behold, also his bloodH1818 is requiredH1875. 23And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreterH3887.1 24And he turned himself aboutH5437 from them, and weptH1058; and returned to them againH7725, and communedH1696 with them, and tookH3947 from them SimeonH8095, and boundH631 him before their eyesH5869.
25Then JosephH3130 commandedH6680 to fillH4390 their sacksH3627 with foodH1250, and to restoreH7725 every man’sH376 moneyH3701 into his sackH8242, and to giveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870: and thusH3651 did heH6213 unto them.
