• A. Reuben
• B. Levi
• C. Zebulun
• D. Simeon ✓

The answer to the question is: D. Simeon

In the biblical narrative found in the book of Genesis, Joseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, was sold into slavery by his brothers and eventually ended up in Egypt. As a high-ranking official in Egypt, Joseph orchestrated a plan to bring his family to Egypt during a time of famine. In order to ensure that his younger brother Benjamin would be brought to Egypt, Joseph detained Simeon.

Simeon was one of Joseph’s brothers and was detained by Joseph as a way to guarantee that his other brothers would return with Benjamin. This event is described in the book of Genesis, specifically in chapters 42-45.
