⁶ Now Joseph was governor ^(A)over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and ^(B)bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.

⁹ Behold, I will make those of ^(A)the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, ^(B)I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that ^(C)I have loved you.

¹⁰ and rescued him out of all his afflictions and ^(A)gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, ^(B)who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household.

²⁶ And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them.

⁸ So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ^(A)ruler over all the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They ^(A)fell before him to the ground.

Shall I and ^(C)your mother and your brothers indeed come ^(D)to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”
