Jacob: It is time my sons are returning with their flocks. See if thou canst see them coming.

[Exit servant.]

First Lady: Yes, they have been gone a long time. We have only Joseph and Benjamin with us.

[Enter servant.]

Jacob: What didst thou see?

Servant: Master, I saw nothing of your sons.

Jacob: I shall send Joseph after them. Bring Joseph hither. [Turns to another servant.] Bring a bag of food for him to take with him on his journey.

[Servants leave. Jacob looks away, hoping to see his sons.]

Jacob: I do not see them. What can be the matter?

[Enter Joseph with servant.]
