1. Mosebok 42,7

CanaanJosephCanaan

5 Så Israels sønner var blant dem som dro for å kjøpe korn, for hungersnøden var også i Kanaans land.

6 Josef var landets guvernør, den som solgte korn til alle folkene. Da Josefs brødre kom, bøyde de seg for ham med ansiktene mot jorden.

Da Josef så brødrene sine, kjente han dem igjen, men han forkledde seg og talte hardt til dem. "Hvor kommer dere fra?" spurte han. "Fra Kanaans land," svarte de, "for å kjøpe mat."

8 Josef kjente igjen brødrene sine, men de kjente ikke ham.

9 Josef husket drømmene han hadde om dem og sa: "Dere er spioner! Dere har kommet for å se hvor landet vårt er ubevoktet."
