She conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said, “The LORD heard that I am neglected and has given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon.[fn]

Now Jacob heard what Laban’s sons were saying: “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s and has built this wealth from what belonged to our father.”

Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent until they returned.

“Listen,” he went on, “I have heard there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us so that we will live and not die.”

They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.

Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.

But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and also Pharaoh’s household heard it.
