Genesis 42:1-5

1Now 1Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?” 2He said, “Behold, 2I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us 3from that place, 4so that we may live and not die.” 3Then ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt. 4But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother 5Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “6I am afraid that harm may befall him.” 5So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, 7for the famine was in the land of Canaan also.
