Gen 42:1-38. Journey into Egypt.

It is evident from Jacob’s language that his own and his sons’ families had suffered greatly from the scarcity; and through the increasing severity of the scourge, those men, who had formerly shown both activity and spirit, were sinking into despondency. God would not interpose miraculously when natural means of preservation were within reach.
