1 Jacob found out that there was grain in Egypt. So he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?"
2 He continued, "I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go down there. Buy some for us. Then we'll live and not die."
3 So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to Egypt to buy grain there.
4 But Jacob didn't send Joseph's brother Benjamin with them. He was afraid Benjamin might be harmed.
