1. Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, "Why are you staring at one another?"
2. He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die."
3. Then ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4. But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "I am afraid that harm may befall him."
