18 On the third day Joseph said to them,“Do as I say and you will live, for I fear God.

21 They said to one another,“Surely we’re being punished because of our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he cried to us for mercy, but we refused to listen. That is why this distress has come on us!”
12 “No,” he insisted,“but you have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
13 They replied,“Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, and one is no longer alive.”
14 But Joseph told them,“It is just as I said to you: You are spies!
32 We are from a family of twelve brothers; we are the sons of one father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father at this time in the land of Canaan.’
33 “Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us,‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for your hungry households and go.
34 But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know that you are honest men and not spies. Then I will give your brother back to you and you may move about freely in the land.’”

21 “Then you told your servants,‘Bring him down to me so I can see him.’
22 We said to my lord,‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.’
23 But you said to your servants,‘If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.’
2 When they finished eating the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them,“Return, buy us a little more food.”
3 But Judah said to him,“The man solemnly warned us,‘You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’
4 If you send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy food for you.
5 But if you will not send him, we won’t go down there because the man said to us,‘You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’”
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph,“Say to your brothers,‘Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan!
25 “Then our father said,‘Go back and buy us a little food.’
26 But we replied,‘We cannot go down there. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go, for we won’t be permitted to see the man’s face if our youngest brother is not with us.’
4 Joseph said to his brothers,“Come closer to me,” so they came near. Then he said,“I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life!
7 They replied,“The man questioned us thoroughly about ourselves and our family, saying,‘Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ So we answered him in this way. How could we possibly know that he would say,‘Bring your brother down’?”
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph,“Your father and your brothers have come to you.
12 You and my brother Benjamin can certainly see with your own eyes that I really am the one who speaks to you.

2 He then said,“Look, I hear that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us so that we may live and not die.”
3 So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s household,“I will go up and tell Pharaoh,‘My brothers and my father’s household who were in the land of Canaan have come to me.
15 Joseph said to them,“What did you think you were doing? Don’t you know that a man like me can find out things like this by divination?”
9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them,“You are spies; you have come to see if our land is vulnerable!”
10 But they exclaimed,“No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food!
13 Take your brother too, and go right away to the man.
14 May the Sovereign God grant you mercy before the man so that he may release your other brother and Benjamin! As for me, if I lose my children I lose them.”
7 When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly. He asked,“Where do you come from?” They answered,“From the land of Canaan, to buy grain for food.”
