Genesis 42:1-3 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Jacob found out that there was grain in Egypt. So he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?"

2. He continued, "I've heard there's grain in Egypt. Go down there. Buy some for us. Then we'll live and not die."

3. So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to Egypt to buy grain there.
