Genesis 42:1-5

1When Jacob heard that grain was available in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why are you standing around looking at one another?

2I have heard there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy enough grain to keep us alive. Otherwise we’ll die.”

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

4But Jacob wouldn’t let Joseph’s younger brother, Benjamin, go with them, for fear some harm might come to him.

5So Jacob’s sons arrived in Egypt along with others to buy food, for the famine was in Canaan as well.
