Genesis 42:18

¹⁸On the third day Joseph said to them, “I am a God-fearing man. If you do as I say, you will live.

In **Genesis 42**, Joseph's brothers travel to Egypt to buy grain during a severe famine, unknowingly bowing before their long-lost brother, who is now Egypt's prime minister. Joseph recognizes them immediately but conceals his identity, accusing them of being spies and demanding they bring their youngest brother, Benjamin, to prove their honesty. This chapter sets in motion Joseph's intricate plan to test his brothers' character and to orchestrate the family's reunion, revealing God's sovereign hand at work through their past sins and present circumstances.
