Genesis 42:1-5

1When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”

2And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die.”

3So Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

4But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some calamity befall him.”

5And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
