Genesis 42:1-22: Messiah’s hidden meeting with Israel foretold through Yosef

When the brothers of Yosef (Joseph) came to Mitsraim (Egypt), even the second time, they did not recognize him at all. He was concealed from them behind a new name, Zaphenath-paneakh, and new appearance, shaved and in garb of his office.
