Genesis 42:5-7

New Life Version

Joseph’s Brothers Bow before Him

⁵ So the sons of Israel joined those who were coming to buy grain for there was no food in Canaan. ⁶ Joseph was the ruler of the land. He was the one who sold grain to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed to the ground in front of him. ⁷ When Joseph saw his brothers, he knew who they were. But he acted like a stranger and spoke sharp words to them. He said, “Where have you come from?” They answered, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
