“And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.”
So Israel's sons were among those who went to buy grain, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also. The famine that spreads to Canaan brings Jacob's household into the same crisis as the nations around them. The application: the covenant family is not exempt from the famines that test the surrounding peoples. The suffering of the world is also the suffering of those within the covenant.
