Genesis 42:5-15
English Standard Version
6Now Joseph was governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph 's brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.
7Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke roughly to them. "Where do you come from?" he said. They said, "From the land of Canaan, to buy food."
8And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamed of them. And he said to them, "You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land."
10They said to him, "No, my lord, your servants have come to buy food.
11We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants have never been spies."
12He said to them, "No, it is the nakedness of the land that you have come to see."
13And they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."
14But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you. You are spies.
15By this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
