And when the seven years of
plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt were ended, then came
the seven years of dearth, according as Ioseph had said. And the
dearth was in all lands: but in the land of Egypt was there yet
food. When now all the land of Egypt began to hunger, then cried
the people to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said unto all Egypt: go
unto Ioseph, and what he saith to you that do. And when the dearth
was thorow out all the land, Ioseph opened all that was in the
cities, and sold unto the Egyptians. And hunger waxed sore in the
land of Egypt. And all countries came to Egypt to Ioseph for to
buy corn: because that the hunger was so sore in all lands.
Chapter .xlij.
When Iacob saw that there was corn to be sold in Egypt, he said
unto his sons: why are ye negligent? behold, I have heard that
there is corn to be sold in Egypt. Get you thither and buy us corn
from thence, that we may live and not die. So went Ioseph's ten
brethren down to buy corn in Egypt, for Ben Iamin Ioseph's brother
would not Iacob send with his other brethren: for he said: some
misfortune might happen him. And the sons of Israel came to buy
corn among other that came, for there was dearth also in the land
of Canaan.
