Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt so he sent 10 of his sons there to buy some, only keeping his youngest son Benjamin with him. Governor Joseph recognized them when they arrived but they didn't recognize him in robes and speaking Arabic using an interpreter. He accused them of being spies and imprisoned Simeon as a guarantee of their return. For he demanded that they return with their younger brother Benjamin as proof of their honesty, thus proving that they were not spies. Joseph then dispatched then with grain, but returned their payments inside their sacks. However Jacob refused to allow than to return to Egypt with Benjamin.
