Genesis 42:8

Joseph’s Brothers Sent to Egypt

7And when Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them as strangers and spoke harshly to them. “Where have you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We are here to buy food.”8Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.9Joseph remembered his dreams about them and said, “You are spies! You have come to see if our land is vulnerable.”
