Answer Details
In order that Benjamin might be brought to Egypt, Joseph detained Simeon. Joseph was a high-ranking official in Egypt and had become separated from his family when he was sold into slavery. He later rose to a powerful position in Egypt and his brothers came to him seeking food during a famine. Joseph, wanting to test his brothers, asked them to bring their youngest brother Benjamin to Egypt. However, the brothers were reluctant to do so, so Joseph detained Simeon until they returned with Benjamin to prove their sincerity.
