4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother (A)Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “(B)Lest any harm 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 one in power 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 [a]faces to the ground.
