Genesis 42:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with the others, for he said, “Some misfortune might befall him.” 5 The sons of Israel, therefore, arrived to buy grain along with all the others who had also come, for there was famine in Canaan.
6 Joseph had authority over the land, and he sold grain to all the people of the land. Therefore, the brothers of Joseph came to him and bowed down to the earth.
