Genesis 42:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ The sons of Jacob came with others to buy grain, because there was famine in the land of Canaan. ⁶ Joseph, as governor of the land of Egypt, was selling grain to people from all over the world. So Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground. ⁷ When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he acted as if he did not know them. He asked them harshly, “Where do you come from?”

“We have come from Canaan to buy food,” they answered.
