5. And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6. And Joseph was the lord over the land, and he it was that sold the wheat to all the people of the land; and Joseph’s brethren came and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
7. And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, but made himself strange unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8. And Joseph knew his brethren but they did not know him.
9. Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10. And they said unto him, No, my lord, but to buy food are thy slaves come.
11. We are all one man’s sons; we are men of the truth, thy slaves have never been spies.
