1. When Jacob realized that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2. Then he said, “Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us there that we may live and not die.”
3. And the ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4. But Jacob did not send Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, for he feared harm would come to him.
5. Then the sons of Israel went to buy grain amid those other people who went as well, for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
