Genesis 46
Benjamin had ten sons by the time Joseph was 39 and had been in Egypt for 22 years – Benjamin must not have been too much younger than Joseph – if he had started having kids at age 20 he could only have been about 8 years younger than Joseph (assuming nearly one son per year).
I wonder why shepherds were an abomination to Egyptians – was it because they were farmers who grew grain.
