Genesis 42:5 in Context — Genesis 42
3 Dix frères de Joseph descendirent en Égypte, pour acheter du blé.
4 Jacob n’envoya point avec eux Benjamin, frère de Joseph, dans la crainte qu’il ne lui arrivât quelque malheur.
5 Les fils d’Israël vinrent pour acheter du blé, au milieu de ceux qui venaient aussi; car la famine était dans le pays de Canaan.
6 Joseph commandait dans le pays; c’est lui qui vendait du blé à tout le peuple du pays. Les frères de Joseph vinrent, et se prosternèrent devant lui la face contre terre.
7 Joseph vit ses frères et les reconnut; mais il feignit d’être un étranger pour eux, il leur parla durement, et leur dit: D’où venez-vous? Ils répondirent: Du pays de Canaan, pour acheter des vivres.
