1 Then Jacob, hearing that food was being sold in Egypt, said to his sons: “Why are you negligent? 2 I have heard that wheat is being sold in Egypt. Go down and buy necessities for us, so that we may be able to live, and not be consumed by destitution.” 3 And so, when ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain in Egypt, 4 Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brothers, “Lest perhaps he may suffer harm on the journey.” 5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with the others who traveled to buy. For the famine was in the land of Canaan. Genesis 42:1-5, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
