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.”
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.”
You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure.
