Genesis 42:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

42 And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?

² I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.

³ So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:

⁴ Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.

⁵ And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
