The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land I will show you.
I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will place a curse on those who harm you. And all the people on earth will be blessed through you."

Along with many other people, the sons of Israel went to Egypt to buy grain, because the people in the land of Canaan were also hungry.
Still no food grew in the land of Canaan.
The hunger became worse, and since there was no food anywhere in the land, Egypt and Canaan became very poor.
Long ago when the judges ruled Israel, there was a shortage of food in the land.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the chief priests,.... With the rest of the sanhedrim:
consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; as well as Jesus, and that for no other crime, but because he was raised from the dead by him; which shows what consciences these men had, and how horribly wicked they were; that they stopped at nothing, whereby they might satisfy their malice and envy, and secure their worldly interests and advantages.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That they might put Lazarus also to death - When men are determined not to believe the gospel, there is no end to the crimes to which they are driven. Lazarus was alive, and the evidence of his resurrection was so clear that they could not resist it. They could neither deny it, nor prevent its effect on the people. As it was determined to kill Jesus, so they consulted about the propriety of removing Lazarus first, that the number of his followers might be lessened, and that the death of Jesus might make less commotion. Unbelief stops at no crime. Lazarus was innocent; they could bring no charge against him; but they deliberately plotted murder rather than believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 12:10. Consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death. — As long as he lived they saw an incontestable proof of the Divine power of Christ; therefore they wished to put him to death, because many of the Jews, who came to see him through curiosity, became converts to Christ through his testimony. How blind were these men not to perceive that he who had raised him, after he had been dead four days, could raise him again though they had slain him a thousand times?
