English Standard Version
Genesis 42:1-5
1When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
2And he said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die."
3So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.
4But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
5Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
