8. Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.
9. Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You’ve come to look for the country’s weaknesses."
10. They said to him, "No, Master. Your servants have just come to buy food.
11. We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants aren’t spies."
12. He said to them, "No. You’ve come to look for the country’s weaknesses."
13. They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, but one is gone."
14. Joseph said to them, "It’s just as I’ve said to you. You are spies!
15. But here is how to prove yourselves: As Pharaoh lives, you won’t leave here until your youngest brother arrives.
16. Send one of you to get your brother, but the rest of you will stay in prison. We will find out if your words are true. If not, as Pharaoh lives, you are certainly spies."
