为什么彼此观望；(喻)付诸行动

Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

Gen. 42:1-4

雅各见埃及有粮出售，就对他的儿子们说：“你们为什么彼此观望呢?”

“我听见埃及有粮卖，你们可以下去，从那里为我们籴些来，使我们可以活下去，不至饿死。

”

于是，约瑟的十个哥哥都下埃及籴粮去了。

但约瑟的兄弟便雅悯，雅各没有打发他和哥哥们同去，因为雅各说：“怕他遇害。”
