Genesis 42:1-5 ▼

1 And Iacob seing that there was corne in Egypt, sayde vnto his sonnes: why gape ye one vpon another?

2 And he said: behold, I haue hearde that there is corne in Egypt: get you downe thyther, and bye vs corne from thence, that we may liue, and not dye.

3 So went Iosephes ten brethren downe to bye corne in Egypt.

4 But Beniamin Iosephes brother, woulde not Iacob sende with his other brethren: for he saide, lest peraduenture destruction come vpon hym.

5 And the sonnes of Irael came to bye corne among other that came: for there was dearth in the lande of Chanaan.
