An empty belly…

Genesis 42:38 says, “And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave”  So Simeon is being held by the rough Egyptian Governor who is asking for Benjamin.  Jacob refuses to send Benjamin to Egypt to regain Simeon.  Genesis 43:2 “And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.”  Now that they ate all the food the 12 no 10 brothers brought back from Egypt and they are hungry will Jacob send his youngest son to save Simeon.  Is anyone else seeing how horrible Jacob is?
