7 När Josef såg sina bröder kände han igen dem. Men han låtsades att han var en främling för dem och tilltalade dem hårt och frågade dem: ”Var kommer ni ifrån?” De svarade: ”Från Kanaans land för att köpa säd.” 8 Trots att Josef kände igen sina bröder kände de inte igen honom. 9 (A) Då tänkte Josef på drömmarna som han hade haft om dem. Han sade till dem: ”Ni är spejare[a]. Ni har kommit för att se var landet saknar skydd.”
