창세기 42:24의 Kabbalah
וַיִּסֹּ֥ב מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם וַיֵּ֑בְךְּ וַיָּ֤שָׁב אֲלֵהֶם֙ וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֵֽאִתָּם֙ אֶת־שִׁמְע֔וֹן וַיֶּאֱסֹ֥ר אֹת֖וֹ לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
요셉이 그들을 떠나 가서 울고 다시 돌아와서 그들과 말하다가 그들 중에서 시므온을 취하여 그들의 목전에서 결박하고
Zohar
Rabbi Shimeon began with the verse: "and he took Shimeon from them, and bound him in front of them" (Genesis 42:24). And what did Yosef see that he showed partiality in Shimeon more than the brothers? Rather, Yosef said: in every place Shimeon (and Levi) are, there is an opening for strict judgment, and at that moment when I went from my father to my brothers, Shimeon opened the strict judgment [against me], as it is written "a man said to his brother here comes that dreamer, come now etc" (Genesis 37:19-20), and before, in Shechem, "and the sons of Yaakov, Shimeon and Levi, each man took" (Genesis 34:25) - all was in strict judgment. It is better to select this one, and not to stir up fights among all the tribes.
