Génesis 42:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 42:3

And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
] They obeyed their father's orders, and immediately set out for Egypt; "ten" of them went down in a body together, all but Benjamin, so that it is easily reckoned who they were, and they are called not Jacob's sons, as they were; but Joseph's brethren, whom they had sold into Egypt, and to whom now they were going, though they knew it not, to buy corn of him in their necessity, and to whom they would be obliged to yield obeisance, as they did.

Génesis 42:3 In-Context

1 Y viendo Jacob que en Egipto había alimentos, dijo a sus hijos: ¿Por qué os estáis mirando?
2 Y dijo: He aquí, yo he oído que hay alimentos en Egipto; descended allá, y comprad de allí para nosotros, para que podamos vivir, y no nos muramos.
3 Y descendieron los diez hermanos de José a comprar trigo a Egipto.
4 Mas Jacob no envió a Benjamín, hermano de José, con sus hermanos; porque dijo: Para que no le acontezca algún desastre.
5 Y vinieron los hijos de Israel a comprar entre los que venían; porque había hambre en la tierra de Canaán.
