1Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, 'Why are you staring at one another?' 2Then he said, 'Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die.' 3So ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. 4But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, 'I am afraid that harm may happen to him.' 5So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, because the famine was also in the land of Canaan.King James Version
