Jacob Allows Benjamin to Leave for Egypt by Rembrandt
Jacob sent his sons to buy food in Egypt, but Benjamin, Joseph’s brother remained with his father. Joseph, who was not recognized by his brothers, insisted that Benjamin returns with them the next time they came to purchase food. With a heavy heart, Jacob sent Benjamin with his brothers as they returned to Egypt.
Genesis 43:13-14
“Take your brother too; and go back at once to the man. And may El Shaddai give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother, as well as Benjamin. As for me, if I am to be bereaved, I shall be bereaved.”
