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.”
