'Buy' in the Bible

People from every country came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain because the famine was severe throughout the earth.

He then said, "Look, I hear that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us so that we may live and not die."

So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

So Israel's sons came to buy grain among the other travelers, for the famine was severe in the land of Canaan.

When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly. He asked, "Where do you come from?" They answered, "From the land of Canaan, to buy grain for food."

But they exclaimed, "No, my lord! Your servants have come to buy grain for food!

When they finished eating the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, "Return, buy us a little more food."

If you send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy food for you.

They said, "My lord, we did indeed come down the first time to buy food.

We have brought additional money with us to buy food. We do not know who put the money in our sacks!"

"Then our father said, 'Go back and buy us a little food.'

Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become Pharaoh's slaves. Give us seed that we may live and not die. Then the land will not become desolate."
