Genesis 42:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ While they said all this, they did not know that Joseph could understand them. Joseph had been speaking in the Egyptian language and someone else told the brothers his message in Hebrew.^[a]

²⁴ Joseph went away from his brothers and he began to weep. But then he returned to speak to them again. While they watched, Joseph told his men to tie Simeon's hands and take him away. ²⁵ Then Joseph told his servants to fill the brothers' bags with food. He also told them to put each man's money back into his bag.^[b] He told them to give the brothers enough food for their journey. The servants did what Joseph told them.
