Genesis 42:8 in Context — Genesis 42

6 Y José era el señor de la tierra, que vendía á todo el pueblo de la tierra: y llegaron los hermanos de José, é inclináronse á él rostro por tierra.

7 Y José como vió á sus hermanos, conociólos; mas hizo que no los conocía, y hablóles ásperamente, y les dijo: ¿De dónde habéis venido? Ellos respondieron: De la tierra de Canaán á comprar alimentos.

8 José, pues, conoció á sus hermanos; pero ellos no le conocieron.

9 Entonces se acordó José de los sueños que había tenido de ellos, y díjoles: Espías sois; por ver lo descubierto del país habéis venido.

10 Y ellos le respondieron: No, señor mío: mas tus siervos han venido á comprar alimentos.
