Genesis 42:3-5

Living Bible

³ So Joseph’s ten older^[a] brothers went down to Egypt to buy grain. ⁴ However, Jacob wouldn’t let Joseph’s younger brother Benjamin go with them, for fear some harm might happen to him as it had to his brother Joseph.^{[b] 5} So it was that Israel’s sons arrived in Egypt along with many others from many lands to buy food, for the famine was as severe in Canaan as it was everywhere else.
