19If you are true men, let one of you be kept in prison, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;
20And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.
21And they said to one another, Truly, we did wrong to our brother, for we saw his grief of mind, and we did not give ear to his prayers; that is why this trouble has come on us.
22And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.
23They were not conscious that the sense of their words was clear to Joseph, for he had been talking to them through one who had knowledge of their language.
24And turning away from them, he was overcome with weeping; then he went on talking to them again and took Simeon and put chains on him before their eyes.
25Then Joseph gave orders for their bags to be made full of grain, and for every man's money to be put back into his bag, and for food to be given them for the journey: which was done.
