Génesis 42:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:8

And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
] It being about twenty two years since they saw him, and then he was young, and his beard not grown, as now it was; and besides, he was clothed as a prince, and spoke the Egyptian language; and being in such great grandeur and splendour, and in such power and authority, and having such a retinue attending him, they never once thought of him, whom they supposed might be dead, having never heard of him all this time; or, however, it could not come into their minds, that he whom they sold for a slave could ever be governor of the land of Egypt.

Génesis 42:8 In-Context

6 Y José era el que mandaba en aquella tierra; él era quien vendía a todo el pueblo de la tierra. Y llegaron los hermanos de José y se postraron ante él rostro en tierra.
7 Cuando José vio a sus hermanos, los reconoció, pero fingió no conocerlos y les habló duramente. Y les dijo: ¿De dónde habéis venido? Y ellos dijeron: De la tierra de Canaán para comprar alimentos.
8 José había reconocido a sus hermanos, aunque ellos no lo habían reconocido.
9 José se acordó de los sueños que había tenido acerca de ellos, y les dijo: Sois espías; habéis venido para ver las partes indefensas de nuestra tierra.
10 Entonces ellos le dijeron: No, señor mío, sino que tus siervos han venido para comprar alimentos.
