1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why don't you do something?
2 I hear that there is grain in Egypt; go there and buy some to keep us from starving to death.”
3 So Joseph's ten half brothers went to buy grain in Egypt,
4 but Jacob did not send Joseph's full brother Benjamin with them, because he was afraid that something might happen to him.
5 The sons of Jacob came with others to buy grain, because there was famine in the land of Canaan.
