4But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.
5And the sons of Israel came with all the others to get grain: for they were very short of food in the land of Canaan.
6Now Joseph was ruler over all the land, and it was he who gave out the grain to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came before him and went down on their faces to the earth.
7And when Joseph saw his brothers, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.
8Now though Joseph saw that these were his brothers, they had no idea who he was.
9Then the memory of his dreams about them came back to Joseph, and he said to them, You have come secretly to see how poor the land is.
10And they said to him, Not so, my lord: your servants have come with money to get food.
