Genesis 42:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 42:4

2 And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may ^alive and not die.”

3 So Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, ^a“Lest some calamity befall him.”

5 And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was ^ain the land of Canaan.

6 Now Joseph was governor ^aover the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and ^bbowed down before him with their faces to the earth.
