Genesis 42:22-24

New Life Version

²² Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy?’ But you would not listen. Now we must pay for his blood.” ²³ They did not know that Joseph understood them. For there was a man between them to tell the meaning of each other’s language. ²⁴ Joseph went away from them and cried. Then he returned to speak with them. And he took Simeon from them and put chains on him in front of his brothers.
