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 José era el gobernador del país, y el que vendía trigo a todo el mundo. Cuando sus hermanos llegaron ante él, se postraron rostro en tierra.
7 En cuanto José vio a sus hermanos, los reconoció; pero, fingiendo no conocerlos, les habló con rudeza:—¡Y ustedes!, ¿de dónde vienen?—Venimos de Canaán, para comprar alimento —contestaron.
8 Aunque José los había reconocido, sus hermanos no lo reconocieron a él.
9 En ese momento se acordó José de los sueños que había tenido acerca de ellos, y les dijo:—¡De seguro ustedes son espías, y han venido para investigar las zonas desprotegidas del país!
10 —¡No, señor! —respondieron—. Sus siervos hemos venido a comprar alimento.
