“And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.”
Then ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. The ten who go — not Benjamin, held back by Jacob in verse 4 — are the ten who sold Joseph twenty-two years earlier. The application: the brothers traveling to Egypt to buy grain from the governor they do not recognize is the first movement of the providential convergence that has been building since Genesis 37.
