Seven years later, just as
Nabi
Yusuf [a] had foretold, famine
gripped the land of Egypt as well as
all the lands surrounding it. Soon
people from those lands heard that
there was food stored in Egypt.
They heard that there was a merci-
ful man in Egypt, a generous and
noble man, in charge of the store-
houses of the land, someone to
whom people could go and get
food. The people of Kan’an heard
this too.
Nabi
Ya’qub [a] and his sons were
also overtaken by the famine. Like
everywhere else, food had become
scarce in Kan’an, and there was
hardly anything for the family to eat.
So
Nabi
Ya’qub [a] sent his older
sons to Egypt to get food. Only
Binyamin, the youngest of them,
and the only full brother of Yusuf,
stayed behind.
