Genesis 42:6-9 ▼

6 Joseph was in charge of the country; he sold grain to all its people. His brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground.

7 When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke harshly to them.“ Where do you come from ? ” he asked.“ From the land of Canaan to buy food,” they replied.

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

9 Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said to them, “ You are spies. You have come to see the weakness of the land.”
