Genesis 42:7-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. And Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognised them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kena‛an to buy food.”

8. So Yosĕph recognised his brothers, but they did not recognise him.

9. And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!”

10. And they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food.

11. “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.”

13. And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kena‛an. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”
