Acts 7:12

But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers on their first visit.

Genesis 42:1-24

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.

Genesis 43:2

And when they had eaten the grain that they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little food.”
