Genesis 42:1-3

International Standard Version

Joseph’s Brothers Visit Egypt

42 Eventually, Jacob observed that there was grain in Egypt, so he asked his sons, “Why do you keep on staring at one another? ² Pay attention now! I’ve heard that there is grain in Egypt, so go down there and buy some grain for us, so we can live, instead of dying.”

³ So ten of Joseph’s brothers left to buy grain from Egypt.
