Genesis 42:22-32

22 Reuben broke in. "Didn't I tell you, 'Don't hurt the boy'? But no, you wouldn't listen. And now we're paying for his murder."
23 Joseph had been using an interpreter, so they didn't know that Joseph was understanding every word.
24 Joseph turned away from them and cried. When he was able to speak again, he took Simeon and had him tied up, making a prisoner of him while they all watched.
25 Then Joseph ordered that their sacks be filled with grain, that their money be put back in each sack, and that they be given rations for the road. That was all done for them.
26 They loaded their food supplies on their donkeys and set off.
27 When they stopped for the night, one of them opened his sack to get food for his donkey; there at the mouth of his bag was his money
28 He called out to his brothers, "My money has been returned; it's right here in my bag!" They were puzzled - and frightened. "What's God doing to us?"
29 When they got back to their father Jacob, back in the land of Canaan, they told him everything that had happened, saying,
30 "The man who runs the country spoke to us roughly and accused us of being spies.
31 We told him, 'We are honest men and in no way spies.
32 There were twelve of us brothers, sons of one father; one is gone and the youngest is with our father in Canaan.'
