"And he was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see."

“For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.”
“He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn't understand.”

And he was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see.
