Why did Yaakov (Jacob) not send one of his sons on the trip to Mitzrayim (Egypt) to purchase food? |
Because Yaakov asked his eldest son Reuven (Reuben) to manage the herds and flocks
Because Yaakov was afraid that an accident might occur to Binyamin (Benjamin), his youngest
Because Yaakov needed his second oldest son, Shimon (Simeon), to protect the livestock
Because Yaakov wanted his fourth son, Yehuda (Judah), to organize the remaining food supply
