{Their words made Joseph very sad.} So Joseph left them and cried. After a short time, Joseph went back to them. He took Simeon, one of the brothers, and tied him while the other brothers watched.
Then Joseph ran from the room. Joseph wanted very much to show his brother Benjamin that he loved him. He felt like crying, {but he didn’t want his brothers to see him crying}. So Joseph ran to his room and cried there.
Joseph learned that his father was coming. So Joseph prepared his chariot and went out to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. When Joseph saw his father, he hugged his neck and cried for a long time.
