1 Now when Jacob saw that there was food in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why are ye looking upon one another?
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is food in Egypt; go down there and buy for us from there that we may live, and not die.
3 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy wheat in Egypt.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure disaster befall him.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
