Genesis 42:17

He imprisoned ¹  them all for three days.

And he put them all in custody for three days.

So he put them all together in prison for three days.

So he put them all in prison for three days.

Then he threw them into jail for three days.

So he put them in prison for three days.

And he put them all together in prison for three days.

So he put them all together in prison three days.

He imprisoned ¹  them all for three days.

¹ sn The same Hebrew word is used for Joseph’s imprisonment in 40:3, 4, 7. There is some mirroring going on in the narrative. The Hebrew word used here (אָסַף, ’asaf, “to gather”) is not normally used in a context like this (for placing someone in prison), but it forms a wordplay on the name Joseph (יוֹסֵף, yosoef) and keeps the comparison working.
