Genesis 42:1-5 ESV
When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” And he said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die.” So ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt. But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him. Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Joseph had grain for sale “that we may live and not die.” The sons of Israel went down to Egypt to buy some.
Jesus has the bread of life He offers for free “that we may live and not die.” He came to earth to purchase our freedom that He might redeem some.
There is a great famine in the land.
