Genesis 42:1-5

1Now when Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: go down there, and buy for us from there; that we may live, and not die.

3And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain in Egypt.

4But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest perhaps harm shall befall him.

5And the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
