Genesis 42:21

And they are saying, a man toward his brother, `Indeed ourselves are guilty-ones upon our brother, whom we have seen the straits of his breath, in his favoring himself1248 toward us, and we have not heard. Upon an upright a strait of this one has come in toward us.`


Footnote:

1248

Hithpael reflexive verb. Sometimes reflexive verbs like this are considered “showing” an action, as in to show favor. But this seems like a stretch.
