Genesis 42:6-9

6Now 1Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and 2bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. 7When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and 3spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”

8But Joseph had recognized his brothers, although 4they did not recognize him. 9Joseph 5remembered the dreams which he 6had about them, and said to them, “You are spies; you have come to look at the 7undefended parts of our land.”
