Genesis 42:9 in Context — Genesis 42

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.

11 Todos nós somos filhos de um homem; somos homens honestos; teus servos nunca foram espias.
