Simeon Is Held Hostage: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTRE

Genesis, Chapter 42, verses 29-38

²⁹ When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying, ³⁰ “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us, and took us for spies of the country. ³¹ But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies. ³² We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’ ³³ The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go. ³⁴ But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but^khonest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.’”

³⁵ Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed. ³⁶ Their father Jacob said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.” ³⁷ Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my^lcare, and I will return him to you.” ³⁸ But^mJacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journeyⁿyou are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
