3And Joseph`s ten brethren went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4But Benjamin, Joseph`s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest Peradventure harm befall him.

5And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly with them; and he said unto them. Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
