“And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.”
Then he remembered his dreams about them and said to them: you are spies! You have come to see where our land is unprotected. The accusation of espionage is the test Joseph applies — a charge serious enough to require them to account for themselves fully, including revealing whether Benjamin is alive. The application: the test that requires full disclosure of family status is the test designed to reveal what has happened in the twenty-two years of separation.
