Genesis 42:3-9 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

3. And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy grain out of Egypt.

4. But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.

5. So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6. And Joseph, he was the governor over the land--he it was that sold the corn to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.

7. And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

8. And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.

9. And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
