Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy grain but didn't they recognize him. Joseph kept Simeon in prison and sent the rest to fetch Benjamin.
"When Joseph’s brothers plotted murder against him and sold him into slavery they did it with the specific intention to defeat his dreams (Genesis 37:19-20). Instead, by sending Joseph to Egypt, they provided the way the dreams would be fulfilled.
The great and glorious truth of God’s providence is He can and does use the evil actions of man towards us to further His good plan. This never excuses man’s evil, but it means God’s wisdom and goodness are greater than man’s evil."
(David Guzik)
"Surely the wrath of man shall praise You"
(Psalm 76:10)
