Genesis 42:1-4 ▼

1 Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, |Why do you look at one another?|

2 He said, |Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die.|

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

4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, | Some harm might happen to him.|
