Genesis 42:1-5

1When JacobH3290 learnedH7200 thatH3588 there wasH3426 grainH7668 in EgyptH4714, heH3290 saidH559 to his sonsH1121, “WhyH4100 are you staring at one anotherH7200?”

2“LookH2009,” he addedH559, “I have heardH8085 thatH3588 there isH3426 grainH7668 in EgyptH4714. Go downH3381 thereH8033 and buyH7666 some for usH8033, so that we may liveH2421 and notH3808 dieH4191.”

3So tenH6235 of Joseph’sH3130 brothersH251 went downH3381 to buyH7666 grainH1250 from EgyptH4714. 4But JacobH3290 did notH3808 sendH7971 Joseph’sH3130 brotherH251 BenjaminH1144 withH854 his brothersH251, forH3588 he saidH559, “I am afraid thatH6435 harmH611 might befall himH7122.”

5So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were amongH8432 those whoH935 cameH935 to buy grainH7666, sinceH3588 the famineH7458 had also spreadH1961 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
