OET (OET-RV) When Yosef saw his brothers, he recognized them and acted like a stranger to them, and he spoke harshly with them (through an interpreter), “Where are you lot from?”
¶ “From the land of Canaan to buy food,” they answered.
וַיַּ֥רְא יוֹסֵ֛ף אֶת אֶחָ֖יו וַיַּכִּרֵ֑ם
and=he/it_saw Yōşēf DOM brothers,his and,recognized,them
Alternate translation: “Joseph immediately recognized his brothers”
וַיִּתְנַכֵּ֨ר אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם
and,pretended_to_be_a_stranger to,them
For some languages it is better to divide the first sentence in this verse into shorter sentences. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “but he treated them like strangers” or “But he pretended that he did not know them”
וַיְדַבֵּ֧ר אִתָּ֣ם קָשׁ֗וֹת
and=he/it_spoke with=them harshly
Consider whether or not it is more natural to begin a new sentence here in your language. Alternate translation: “and spoke to them in a harsh way” or “In fact, he spoke to them roughly”
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙
and=he/it_said to,them
Alternate translation: “and questioned them,” or “and demanded,”
מֵאַ֣יִן בָּאתֶ֔ם
from,where come
Alternate translation: “Where are you from?”

מֵאֶ֥רֶץ כְּנַ֖עַן לִשְׁבָּר אֹֽכֶל
from,land Kanaan to,buy food
For some languages it is necessary to begin with a respectful title or form of address when someone talks to a person of high status like Joseph. See how Joseph’s brothers address him in verse 10. Alternate translation: “Sir, we came from the land of Canaan to buy some grain.” or “Sir, we are from the land of Canaan and we came to buy some grain.”
42:6-7 Joseph’s first dream (37:5-11) was partially fulfilled when his brothers bowed down to him without recognizing him (see also 43:26; 44:14). It was totally fulfilled in 50:18. Joseph recognized his brothers immediately, but he could not reveal himself because he did not yet trust them to be the honest men they claimed to be (42:10).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
