4. Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brothers, "Lest perhaps he may suffer harm on the journey."
5. And they entered into the land of Egypt with the others who traveled to buy. For the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6. And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and grain was sold under his direction to the people. And when his brothers had reverenced him
7. and he had recognized them, he spoke harshly, as if to foreigners, questioning them: "Where did you come from?" And they responded, "From the land of Canaan, to buy necessary provisions."
8. And although he knew his brothers, he was not known by them.
9. And remembering the dreams, which he had seen in another time, he said to them: "You are scouts. You have come in order to see which parts of the land are weaker."
10. And they said: "It is not so, my lord. But your servants have arrived in order to buy food.
11. We are all sons of one man. We have come in peace, nor do any of your subjects devise evil."
12. And he answered them: "It is otherwise. You have come to examine the unguarded parts of this land."
13. But they said: "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father; the other is not living."
