Ten of Joseph’s brothers went to buy grain in Egypt.
They answered him, “We were 12 brothers, sons of one man in Canaan. The youngest brother stayed with our father, and the other one is no longer with us.”
I’ve heard there’s grain for sale in Egypt. Go there and buy some for us so that we won’t starve to death.”
Jacob wouldn’t send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with the other brothers, because he was afraid that something would happen to him.
Israel’s sons left with the others who were going to buy grain, because there was also famine in Canaan.
