Jacob Sends Sons to Egypt

Genesis 42:1-5

And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, `Why do you look at each other?'

he saith also, `Lo, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live and do not die;'

and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt,

And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan,
