Benjamin has appeared in multiple dramatizations of the story of Joseph and his brothers, in [[motion picture]]s (including an animated project) and on [[television]]. But all of those stories are flawed in one fashion or another. The usual flaw is the implication that Benjamin was still a boy when he came to Egypt, and even too young for Joseph to have known. Yet the Bible clearly says that he was by then married and had a very large family of his own. Furthermore, the Bible says that Rachel died before Joseph was sold into slavery, not afterward, so that Joseph must have known Benjamin before he ever set foot in Egypt.
