- Genesis 42:7–20
And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”
Commentary on Genesis 42:7–201 voice
AN immense number of persons came down into Egypt from all parts of the world to buy corn. Many of these Joseph never saw. Many others came into his presence. I do not find that of all who came, he treated any of them roughly, except his own brothers. "Strange!" you will say, and if you did not know the sequel of the story, it would not only seem strange, but cruel. You would not know how to account for such a thing. Very like this is the manner of God's Providence.
Charles Spurgeon· The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 3379: “Rough, But Friendly” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition), 1913
- Genesis 43:26–34
When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.
Commentary on Genesis 43:26–341 voice
When they brought him the present, they bowed themselves before him, and again, when they gave him an account of their father's health, they made obeisance, and called him, Thy servant, our father - Thus were Joseph's dreams fulfilled more and more; and even the father, by the sons, bowed before him.

- 1 Samuel 21:13–15
So he changed his behavior before them and feigned madness in their hands; he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down his beard.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 21:13–151 voice
Scrabbled - literally, made marks (margin), namely, the mark of the “tau” (t), which in the ancient Hebrew and Phoenician was in the shape of a cross. (See Eze 9:4.) On the doors of the gate - The gate of Achish’s palace-yard or court, in which the attendants waited. The house itself stood in this court. (Compare Est 2:19, Est 2:21.)
