Comparative Study between the Bible versus the Quran (43) – A: The first part
(Chapter 43:1-10)
The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about 1) the famine was sore in the land, 2) Jacob commanded his sons to go to Egypt to buy corn and 3) Judah said: we have to take Benjamin with us, otherwise we will never be able to get corn from Egypt!
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about the chief Jewish priests had delivered Jesus (for envy) to be crucified (See: B: The second part).
The Noble Quran Verses from 1-10 are talking about 1) the revelation of the Quran, 2) how many were the prophets were sent to the people? , 3) no prophet came to people except that they mocked him, etc; (see: C: The third part - I and II).

Old Testament:
Chapter 43 in the Old Testament is Genesis 43; it is composed of 36 verses.
Verses from 1-10 are talking about 1) the famine was sore in the land, 2) Jacob commanded his sons to go to Egypt to buy corn and 3) Judah said: we have to take Benjamin with us, otherwise we will never be able to get corn from Egypt!
This was the smart plan of Joseph to have Benjamin with him!
Genesis 43 (King James Version)
1] And the famine was sore in the land.
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.
3] And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4] If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5] But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6] And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7] And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8] And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
9] I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10] For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

I will postpone my question: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?" until you read the second and the third parts of this article.
