6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground. 7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, |Where do you come from?| And they said, |From the land of Canaan to buy food.| 8 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. 9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, |You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country.| Genesis 42:6-9, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
