Joseph was going to use food as leverage to see his younger brother Benjamin; telling them they won't get anything until they bring their brother back to prove they aren't spies:

Genesis 42:13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


Joseph threw them all in Jail for 3 days.

After 3 days, Joseph being a true man of God - let the brothers free to carry food back home; but kept one of them in jail until the brothers returned with Benjamin:

Genesis 42:16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.

17 And he put them all together into ward three days.

18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.

Guilt ridden from what they did to their "younger brother Joseph" - they talked among themselves saying this was payback.

Little did they know Joseph understood them, but used an interpreter to fool them into thinking he didn't.

Genesis 42:21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.

23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


Joseph was choked up with emotion when he heard how sorry they were - and had to turn away from them:

Genesis 42:24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


After Joseph had Simeon restrained, he loaded up their donkeys with corn, and unknowingly to the brothers, returned the money he took from them:

Genesis 42:25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.

26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
