Joseph uses a strategy to persuade Benjamin, and all of his brothers gather in Egypt during the famine.
便雅悯是雅各和拉结的小儿子，出生在他的哥哥约瑟之后。据经卷记载，约瑟和他的兄弟们有着动荡的关系，哥哥们嫉妒约瑟在他们父亲眼中的优越地位，于是密谋把约瑟卖为奴，告诉他们的父亲他被野兽吃死。
几年后，在一场严重的饥荒中，约瑟的兄弟们去埃及购买粮食。他们没认出约瑟，他已经在埃及政府中掌权。约瑟考验他的兄弟，控告他们是奸细，并要求他们把最小的兄弟便雅悯带到他面前以证明他们的诚实。
雅各起初很犹豫是否让便雅悯和他的兄弟们一起去，担心他会像约瑟一样遭遇不好的事情。然而，当饥荒持续，家里的食物供应不足时，雅各同意派便雅悯和他的兄弟们去埃及。
兄弟们到了埃及，约瑟就安排他们在他家里吃饭。他按着他们的出生次序，使他们坐著。便雅悯被赐为尊贵的座位。在吃饭的时候，约瑟给便雅悯的食物，是他给其他兄弟的五倍，他对他很好，就像雅各多年前对约瑟很好一样。
饭后，约瑟吩咐管家把银杯放在便雅悯的粮袋里。当兄弟们要回家的时候，约瑟派人追赶他们，控告他们偷了杯子。兄弟们否认了这一指控，并表示愿意搜查他们的麻袋，相信他们不会被判有罪。然而，当便雅悯的袋子被打开时，杯子被发现在里面。
兄弟们被逮捕并带回约瑟家。约瑟要求把便雅悯囚禁起来，让其他兄弟回家。犹大，其中一个哥哥，恳求约瑟释放便雅悯，并提出代替他做奴隶作为回报。犹大愿意为他的兄弟牺牲自己，并承认兄弟们过去对约瑟犯下的罪，这促使约瑟向他们展示了他的真实身份。
约瑟原谅了他的兄弟，让他们带着粮食和银子，送回他们的父亲那里。他邀请雅各和他的全家来埃及生活，在那里他们得到了土地并获得了繁荣。便雅悯是约瑟和他的兄弟们和解的原因，在他们救赎和团聚的故事中发挥了重要作用。
Benjamin is the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, born after his older brother Joseph. According to the Scripture, Joseph and his brothers had a tumultuous relationship, with the older brothers being jealous of Joseph’s favored position in their father’s eyes. They sold Joseph into slavery, telling their father that he had been killed by wild animals.
Years later, during a severe famine, Joseph’s brothers went to Egypt to buy grain. They did not recognize Joseph, who had risen to a position of power in the Egyptian government. Joseph tested his brothers by accusing them of being spies and demanding that they bring their youngest brother, Benjamin, to him as proof of their honesty.
Jacob was initially hesitant to let Benjamin go with his brothers, fearing that something bad might happen to him as had happened to Joseph. However, when the famine continued and the family’s food supply ran low, Jacob agreed to send Benjamin with his brothers to Egypt.
When the brothers arrived in Egypt, Joseph arranged for them to dine with him in his home. He seated them according to their birth order, with Benjamin being given the honor of the seat of honor. During the meal, Joseph gave Benjamin five times as much food as he gave the other brothers, showing favoritism to him just as Jacob had shown favoritism to Joseph years before.
After the meal, Joseph instructed his steward to put his silver cup in Benjamin’s sack of grain. When the brothers set out to return home, Joseph sent his men after them to accuse them of stealing the cup. The brothers denied the accusation and offered to have their sacks searched, confident that they would not be found guilty. However, when Benjamin’s sack was opened, the cup was found inside.
The brothers were arrested and brought back to Joseph’s house. Joseph demanded that Benjamin be kept as his prisoner, while the other brothers were allowed to return home. Judah, one of the older brothers, pleaded with Joseph to release Benjamin and offered to take his place as a slave in return. Judah’s willingness to sacrifice himself for his brother, and his acknowledgment of the brothers’ past sins against Joseph, moved Joseph to reveal his true identity to them.
Joseph forgave his brothers and sent them back to their father with gifts of grain and money. He invited Jacob and his whole family to come and live in Egypt, where they were given land and prospered. Benjamin, who had been the cause of the reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers, played an important role in the story of their redemption and reunion.
