Yosef saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, *Where did you come from?* They said, *From the land of Kena`an to buy food.*
and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
