Genesis 42:24

He turned away from them and wept. When he turned around and spoke to them again, ¹  he had Simeon taken ²  from them and tied up ³  before their eyes.

Ge 34:25; Ge 43:30; Ge 49:5-7; Isa 63:9; Lu 19:41; Ro 12:15; 1Co 12:26; Heb 4:15; Jude 1:22,23

¹ tn Heb “and he turned to them and spoke to them.”

² tn Heb “took Simeon.” This was probably done at Joseph’s command, however; the grand vizier of Egypt would not have personally seized a prisoner.

³ tn Heb “and he bound him.” See the note on the preceding verb “taken.”
