Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Pride {goeth} before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: {we...: Heb. coming down we came down}

Better {is} little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. {buyeth: Heb. taketh}

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. {house: or, kindred}

And our father said, Go again, {and} buy us a little food.

And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks {with} food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. {the steward...: Heb. him that was over his house}

But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
