1And Jacob afterward heard that there was corn in Egypt, and he called to his sons to go to Egypt to buy corn, for upon them also did the famine prevail, and he called to his sons, saying,
2Behold I hear that there is corn in Egypt, and all the people of the earth go there to purchase, now therefore why will you show yourselves satisfied before the whole earth? go you also down to Egypt and buy us a little corn amongst those that come there, that we may not die.
