Genesis 42:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother ^(A)Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “^(B)I am afraid that harm may befall him.” ⁵ So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, ^(C)for the famine was in the land of Canaan also.

⁶ Now ^(D)Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and ^(E)bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
