Does This Sound Like Your Dad?

In Genesis 42, Jacob's family was struggling because of a famine in the land of Canaan where they lived. The narrative picks up with Joseph speaking to his sons:

42:1 - When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" 2 He continued, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die."
