Thematic Bible: Joseph's ten brethren arrive


Thematic Bible



Then saw Jacob that there was corn in Egypt, - and Jacob said to his sons, Wherefore look ye one at another? And he said, Lo I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, - Go down thither and buy corn for us from thence, that we may live and not die. So Joseph's ten brethren went down, - to buy corn from the Egyptians; read more.
but, Benjamin, Joseph's own brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren, - for he said, Lest there befall him any mischief. Thus came in the sons of Israel, to buy corn in the midst of them that came - for the famine was in the land of Canaan. Now, Joseph - he, it was, that was in power over the land, he, it was that was selling corn to all the people of the land, - so Joseph's brethren came in, and bowed themselves down to him, with their faces to the earth.
