1 And when Jacob shall see there is selling in Egypt, Jacob will say to his sons, For what will ye look?

2 Behold I heard that there is selling in Egypt: go ye there, and buy grain for us from thence; and we shall live and shall not die.

3 And Joseph's brethren, the ten, will go to buy grain from Egypt.

4 And Benjamin, Josephs brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest harm should meet him.

5 And the sons of Israel will come to buy in the midst of those coming; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 And Joseph, he the ruler over the land, and he selling grain to all the people of the earth; and Joseph's brethren will come, and will worship before him the face to the earth.

7 And Joseph will see his brethren, and will know them, and he will not let himself be known to them. And will speak with them hard things: and he will say to them, From whence came ye? And they will say, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

8 And Joseph will know his brethren, and they knew him not.
