Genesis 42:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 42:1

1 When ^aJacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”

2 And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may ^alive and not die.”

3 So Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

4 But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, ^a“Lest some calamity befall him.”
