King James VersionSource notes
“And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.”
Context
5And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6And Joseph the governor over the land, he that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him their faces to the earth.
7And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11We all one man’s sons; we true thy servants are no spies.
