18:6: The fell to the ground.
Of Simeon, the son of Jacob, Tanḥ. ויגש 51A: Joseph said to pharaoh, “Send me seventy strong men from
your bodyguard, for I have found robbers whom I will put in chains. In that
hour he sent them to him. And Joseph’s brothers were careful of what he would
do. Then Joseph said to those strong men, “Throw this man (Simeon) into prison
and put shackles on his feet.” When they approached him, he shouted at them.
When they heard his voice, they fell on their faces and their teeth were
broken; as it says in Job 4:10, “The roar of the lion and the voice of the
fierce lion and the teeth of the young lion are broken.” (Hermann L.

Talmud and Midrash, ed. Jacob N. Cerone, 4 vols. [trans. Andrew Bowden and
