1 When Jacob realized that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 Then he said, “Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us there that we may live and not die.”
3 And the ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, for he feared harm would come to him.
5 Then the sons of Israel went to buy grain amid those other people who went as well, for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
