Genesis 42:5-7

New International Version

⁵ So Israel’s sons were among those who went to buy grain,^(A) for there was famine in the land of Canaan^(B) also.^(C)

⁶ Now Joseph was the governor of the land,^(D) the person who sold grain to all its people.^(E) So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.^{(F) 7} As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them.^(G) “Where do you come from?”^(H) he asked.

“From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.”
