And when Joseph saw his brothers, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.

Now though Joseph saw that these were his brothers, they had no idea who he was.

Then the memory of his dreams about them came back to Joseph, and he said to them, You have come secretly to see how poor the land is.

And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

And Jacob their father said to them, You have taken my children from me: Joseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin away; all these things have come on me.

And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.

And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

יוֹסֵ֗ף yo.Sef “Joseph”

And put my cup, my silver cup, in the youngest one's bag, with his money. So he did as Joseph said.

And when they had gone only a little way out of the town, Joseph said to the servant who was over his house, Go after them; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you done evil in reward for good?
