Bible Question: When I add up the years from Jospeh's sale to traders and the coming of Jacob to Egypt I find it difficult to believe that Benjamin had six sons before entering Egypt. Anyone have an answer? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jbaumberger! Gen. 46:21 actually lists 10 sons of Benjamin. According to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Joseph was about 40 when Jacob came to Egypt. Benjamin was only a little younger than Joseph. So, if we assume he was about 38 and started having kids in his teens, he could have easily had 10 sons. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
