And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Jacob was speaking to Joseph before their family was reunited in Egypt. At that time Jacob was dwelling in Canaan, where the famine was severe, while Joseph was in Egypt as the king's deputy under a new name given by the king. Ten of Jacob's sons went to Egypt to buy grain and bowed with their faces to the earth before Joseph, fulfilling Joseph's dreams, which came to his mind. Joseph knew his brothers but they did not know him, and he saw that Benjamin was not among them. When questioned, the brothers reported that they were twelve brethren, sons of one man in Canaan, with the youngest remaining with their father and one no more.
