And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan, and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him -- face to the earth. And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, 'From whence have ye come?' and they say, 'From the land of Canaan -- to buy food.' And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him, and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, 'Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.' And they say unto him, 'No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food; we are all of us sons of one man, we are right men; thy servants have not been spies;' and he saith unto them, 'No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;' and they say, 'Thy servants are twelve brethren; we are sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one is with our father to-day, and the one is not.' And Joseph saith unto them, 'This is that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye are spies, by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this -- except by your young brother coming hither; send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not -- Pharaoh liveth! surely ye are spies;' and he removeth them unto charge three days.

And they say one unto another, 'Verily we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.' And Reuben answereth them, saying, 'Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.' And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the interpreter is between them; and he turneth round from them, and weepeth, and turneth back unto them, and speaketh unto them, and taketh from them Simeon, and bindeth him before their eyes. And Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels with corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them so. And they lift up their corn upon their asses, and go from thence, and the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it is in the mouth of his bag, and he saith unto his brethren, 'My money hath been put back, and also, lo, in my bag:' and their heart goeth out, and they tremble, one to another saying, 'What is this God hath done to us!'
