Genesis 42:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The sons of Israel, therefore, arrived to buy grain along with all the others who had also come, for there was famine in Canaan.

⁶ Joseph had authority over the land, and he sold grain to all the people of the land. Therefore, the brothers of Joseph came to him and bowed down to the earth. ⁷ Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he hid his identity from them. He spoke harshly and said, “Where do you come from?”

They answered, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
