Genesis 42:6-9 ▼

6 And Joseph—he was the ruler over the land; he was the one selling to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came, and they bowed themselves before him, noses to the earth.

7 And Joseph saw his brothers and he recognized them, and he made himself strange to them, and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “From where have you? come?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”

8 And Joseph recognized his brothers, and they did not recognize him.

9 And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You? are spies! You? have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
