Genesis 42:6 in Context — Genesis 42
4 Mas Jacó não enviou a Benjamim irmão de José com seus irmãos; porque disse: Não seja acaso que lhe aconteça algum desastre.
5 E vieram os filhos de Israel a comprar entre os que vinham: porque havia fome na terra de Canaã.
6 E José era o senhor da terra, que vendia a todo o povo da terra: e chegaram os irmãos de José, e inclinaram-se a ele rosto por terra.
7 E José quando viu seus irmãos, reconheceu-os; mas fez que não os conhecesse, e falou-lhes asperamente, e lhes disse: De onde viestes? Eles responderam: Da terra de Canaã, para comprar alimentos.
8 José, pois, reconheceu a seus irmãos; mas eles não o reconheceram.
