Genesis 42:6-8

New Catholic Bible

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.”

⁸ Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
