Genesis 42:8 in Context — Genesis 42

6 E José era o senhor da terra, que vendia a todo o povo da terra: e chegaram os irmãos de José, e inclinaram-se a ele rosto por terra.

7 E José quando viu seus irmãos, reconheceu-os; mas fez que não os conhecesse, e falou-lhes asperamente, e lhes disse: De onde viestes? Eles responderam: Da terra de Canaã, para comprar alimentos.

8 José, pois, reconheceu a seus irmãos; mas eles não o reconheceram.

9 Então se lembrou José dos sonhos que havia tido deles, e disse-lhes: Sois espias; viestes ver a fraqueza desta terra.

10 E eles lhe responderam: Não, meu senhor; teus servos vieram comprar alimentos.
