Gen. 40:3• 3and he put them in custody, in the captain of the life-guard's house, into the tower-house, the place where Joseph [was] imprisoned. (Gen. 40:3)
;
Isa. 42:7,22• 7to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
 22But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. (Isa. 42:7,22)
;
Jer. 37:15• 15Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. (Jer. 37:15)
carry corn.
Gen. 42:1‑2,26• 1And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why look ye one on another?
 2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: go down thither, and buy for us from thence, in order that we may live and not die.
 26And they loaded their asses with their corn and departed thence. (Gen. 42:1‑2,26)
;
Gen. 41:56• 56And the famine was over all the face of the earth. And Joseph opened every storehouse [all in which was grain], and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt. (Gen. 41:56)

• Had Joseph dealt with his brethren in the first manner stated, in anger and judgment, with no grace, instead of there being produced the "fear of God," it would have only produced "the fear of man"; and that we are told "bringeth a snare"; and "the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." (James 1:20). While so-called love at the expense of truth, displayed where wrong is, which remains unchallenged and unconfessed, is only an amiability which reflects discredit on its possessor at every expression of it. Joseph was not going to make for peace at the expense of righteousness. (“Joseph and His Brethren: Part 5” by F.T. Heath)
