Genesis 42:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 They did not know that Joseph understood them because he was using an interpreter.
24 He walked away from them and cried. Then he returned and spoke with them. He selected Simeon and had him placed in chains while they were watching.
25 The Sons of Jacob Return to Canaan.[a] Joseph gave orders that their sacks be filled with grain, and that each one’s money be placed in his sack, and that they be given provisions for their journey. This was done for them.
