Genesis 42:24

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.

Genesis 19:6

19:6 Lot went outside to them, shutting the door behind him.

Genesis 42:12

42:12 “No,” he insisted, “but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.” ⁴ 

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.”

⁴ tn Heb “and he said, ‘No, for the nakedness of the land you have come to see.’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for clarity.
