Genesis 42:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ Yosef was governor over the land; it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Now when Yosef’s brothers came and prostrated themselves before him on the ground, ⁷ Yosef saw his brothers and recognized them; but he acted toward them as if he were a stranger and spoke harshly with them. He asked them, “Where are you from?” They answered, “From the land of Kena‘an to buy food.” ⁸ So Yosef recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.
