Genesis 42:8-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

8. Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn’t recognize him.

9. And he remembered the dreams he’d had about them many years before. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see how vulnerable our land has become.”

10. “No, my lord!” they exclaimed. “Your servants have simply come to buy food.

11. We are all brothers—members of the same family. We are honest men, sir! We are not spies!”

12. “Yes, you are!” Joseph insisted. “You have come to see how vulnerable our land has become.”
