And Ioseph was governor in the land, and sold corn to
all the people of the land. And his brethren came, and fell flat
on the ground before him. When Ioseph saw his brethren, he knew
them: But made strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them
saying: Whence come ye? and they said: out of the land of Canaan,
to buy vitaille. Ioseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
And Ioseph remembered his dreams which he dreamed of them, and
said unto them: ye are spies, and to see where the land is weak is
your coming. And they said unto him: nay, my lord: but to buy
vitaille thy servants are come. We are all one man's sons, and
mean truly, and thy servants are no spies. And he said unto them:
nay verily, but even to see where the land is weak is your coming.
And they said: we thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of
one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is yet with our
father, and one no man woteth where he is. Ioseph said unto them,
that is it that I said unto you, that ye are surely spies. Here by
ye shall be proved. For by the life of Pharao, ye shall not go
hence, until your youngest brother be come hither. Send therefore
one of you and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be in
prison in the mean season.
