Actually the reason why Jacob didn't send Benjamin was because Benjamin was the last son of Rachel left, and after Joseph was sold into slavery and how Jacob's other sons told Jacob that Joseph was dead, Jacob didn't want to loose the last memory of his favorite wife, Rachel, after she died

[@Daniel-cz7kd]

Ken Astillo Hello and very well put, as Jacob took Joseph’s death so hard, Benjamin became his last memory to live on.

[@MovieMakingMan]

And since there wasn’t an afterlife then they would never be reunited in heaven. Everyone before Jesus just ended up dead forever.

[@MovieMakingMan]

@Robert Boland LOLOL! So true. Damn those NT slackers! Too bad there’s no one in charge to straighten this out.

[@MovieMakingMan]

Jacob took slaves to be his ‘wives’ so he could screw them any time he wanted. They were his property. It’s so touching how Jacob wanted to keep the memory of Rachel alive but not give a damn about the women he enslaved and then raped the rest of their lives. Since he took those women as his property he was the person of authority so he is guilty of rape every time he screwed one of his slave ‘wives’. Why didn’t Jacob care about the feelings of his slaves? The bigger question: Why did a ‘god’ condone and support slavery? No loving god would look at human beings as possessions. Slavery is one of the most immoral acts on earth. The biblical god and Jesus supported slavery so they are the most immoral inventions of man in history. Jesus even said,”Slaves obey your masters.” So Jesus was ok with slaves getting beaten to the edge of death. How can Christians worship such immorality? No wonder religious people make up 95% of prison populations with Christians at the top of inmates. Btw, atheists make up 0.0008% in prisons.

That part of requiring them to bring Benjamin back to prove they aren't spies makes no sense. How does bringing some guy that nobody else even knows, outside the brothers, show anything? Oh and somehow they're supposed to prove a negative by doing that? I mean I know it was just an excuse, but it's yet another example of beloved biblical figure making irrational demands.

[@stevewebber707]

​@Ron Maimon I was aware of the functional reason. My point was that the excuse was absurd. That and Joseph was abusing his authority. The scenario has Joseph setting himself in a position of absolute authority over his brothers, using a dishonest accusation, and then stacking the deck against them. I would agree that good stories have characters with imperfections. But some biblical stories have protagonists that end up looking more like villains. BTW, it would not be accurate to say that I hate the bible. You might be able to justify saying that I hate that some people consider the bible the best place to find objective morality.

[@stevewebber707]

@Ron Maimon You can say that God is the source, but the bible is the only means of communication of it. So the difference is moot.

[@stevewebber707]

@Ron Maimon While it's true that there would need to be communications from God to make the bible the literal word of God, I don't believe it to be true that the bible wouldn't have been written if that weren't true. I'm trying to recall cases of biblical authors claiming to be channeling, or speaking directly for God. And I'm not having much success. I would think if someone wanted to communicate some knowledge directly granted by God, they would make note of God granting that knowledge. I believe it more plausible that the bible is the works of man, created in a search for God, among other things. Please note that by communication, I'm specifying accurate and meaningful communication, rather than vague inspirations and feelings. I sometimes hear it said that the bible was inspired by God. And that's likely true, but inspiration doesn't inherently cause accuracy, or even truth. And anyway, I would be more impressed by current direct communications from God, rather than second or third hand through a very old set of books. If there is a God that wants to communicate with us, he's not doing so well at it.

[@sjstronghold9238]

Okay so if if I undertand correctly, Joseph hid silver in his brohers' pouches so that, when Jacob sees they all gained money from the trip, he suspects them of having sold Simeon, and will refuse to send Benjamin. Not sure of the end goal though.

LOL, this scene in the Dreamworks movie is hilarious. Joseph tells them to bring Benjamin and they're all just like, "Why...?", and he just goes, "Uhh...to prove you're not lying!" Like it's the most obvious thing in the world, I guess. But I GUESS it makes sense in the context of the movie, because Benjamin was, in that iteration of the story, NOT one of the ones who dumped him down the well. But he and Joseph are full-blooded brothers (both Rachel's sons), while he's only half brothers with the rest of them. So I guess the bond is closer, but this still makes no sense.

[@LazyIRanch]

[@LazyIRanch]

@Ron Maimon I'm starting to think that most of Genesis is a study in dysfunctional families! Maybe that was the point? To give people stories they could relate to so we have a basis to begin discussions? I still find value in talking about the Bible and having that ancient, shared mythology even though I no longer believe what I believed when I was young. I have many relatives who are Christian, but the way they express their beliefs are radically different. Most are followers of mega-churches who preach the "prosperity gospel" and are some of the greediest, hateful, bigoted people I've ever met. Currently, they worship an orange guy with bad hair. Then, there's my sweet cousin who passed last week at 92. She was an ordained minister and pastor's wife at a little country church. She devoted her life to helping others, and I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She left the world a little better because she was here.

[@scienceexplains302]

Genesis 42:38 Joseph and Benjamin were Rachel’s* biological sons. That is apparently why “Benjamin alone remained”. It is easy to see why such a family would be dysfunctional, (not that I think they existed) * Rachel also claimed Bilhah’s, “her” slave’s children as hers.

bible stories tend to repeat entire paragraphs word for word when relayed to different characters, just like simpletons repeat things exactly as they were said, because they lack the brain power to summarize or to otherwise relay what has been said without being a parrot. My conclusion is that is how simple people expected it to be told. I guess the bible authors had their audience correctly figured out.

[@Chris-op7yt]

@@harveywabbit9541 : the specific type of actual word-for-word repetition i was talking about is small character story plot events that are repeated by a character when they tell another character about the event. It's just like a few people i've come across in life, who cannot re-word or summarize interactions at work but end up repeating everything that was said by each person present. i do know about the various larger narratives in the bible borrowing from life, history, other religions and cosmology made simple. Just like authors today re-use same old plots but add twists.

Point of logistics: how many donkeys to haul grain did the ten brothers take to Egypt, and how much grain did they actually bring back, so that everyone in the land of Canaan could be fed?

Let's see... why would Joseph's brothers fail to recognize him? Well... 1. It's been more than seven years. People change. 2. He's been living in Egypt, presumably speaking Egyptian mostly. He's developed a thick accent. 3. Egypt is sunny and hot. He's got quite the gnarly tan. 4. He's come up in the world, so he's wearing the height of Egyptian fashion. Maybe even rocking one of those awesome chin beards. 5. The brothers all think he's dead, since they either left him down a well or sold him to slavers, or both, and they haven't heard from him for a bit. Besides, they don't talk all that much anyway, what with all the staring at each other. 6. Since he was wearing one of those sweet Egyptian kilts, they couldn't see his dick. 7. That staring-at-each-other business only started after he left, so the brothers never really knew what he looked like in the first place. 8. No technicolor dreamcoat.

[@zecuse]

I'm willing to grant all but 3 & 7. The land of Canaan isn't all that far from Egypt and would still have been a savanna at least, so skin tone wouldn't have been that big of a difference. Joseph was 17 when he developed his "little emperor" personality. It's pretty hard to go 17 years without being able to identify your pretentious younger sibling. Also, from 17 to 24 isn't a lot of time to physically change. Joseph must have been wearing a LOT of Egyptian make up, clothing, and accessories. Besides, Joseph recognized them immediately.

At last, we see in GEN 49:6 that Simeon, Reuben and Levi who murdered Dinah's beloved have also murdered the last sitting King Of Egypt, Seqenenre Tao II for the Egyptian King making rituals that comprise the first Three Degrees of Freemasonry as a reenactment of his murder (Hiram Abif).

How ironic the Untouchables of India are the remnants of the Hebrews (Kalani Tribe as the priestly class), who remained behind while the upper classes were thrown out with Brahma and his sister/wife Sarasvati (later Abram and Sarai), and Krishna.

[@spaztor7723]

This makes my sac happy

[@AshaSelfsDemoFilms]

Geez the more I learn about it the more the Bible is like - People are dumb and if you realize that you can manipulate them and have all the lady eggs for yourself😒

[@RumbleFish69]

I know there is a lot wrong with this story, but the biggest thing wrong with it is that it never happened.... So, why am I listening to this? Sure, I understand the argument about clarifying contradictory biblical statements, pointing out falsehoods and oxymoronic passages, but in this case, that's like Saying to me, "Let me explain to you why Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don't exist" and then me listening to that argument intently as if it is going to convince me even further of something I already know. The only ones that are left, are the ones who believe this stuff and they don't care about videos like this.

[@Flutterbleau]

There are a lot of people out there who have doubts about the bible's teachings but aren't sure what to do with them. I was in that position awhile back myself, and i appreciate videos like this that help me disentangle the mess i have inside my head, bringing up points i missed when i read through it. The major problem here is that there isn't nearly the same level of indoctrination and brainwashing that goes into telling a kid that Santa's real that there is towards God's existence, and factor in the fear of Hell and that makes the programming a million times harder to undo. These, for me, feel like being able to experience the story in a way not riddled with the pain that came from constantly trying to force myself to believe that it was all real

[@tkps]

@@Flutterbleau Spot on about the difference in teaching about Santa and the Bible. It always shocks me a little that people who struggle with it often mention how scared they were as children (or later) of Hell. Maybe it's an American thing I don't know. But whenever people comment on 'getting out' hell is always mentioned. It's quite disturbing how successful those that taught the fear were. I admit to being a little concerned as a child but it was a passing thing. We went to Sunday School/Church for a while but my parents never mentioned hell and if the pastors did it wasn't enough to 'stick'.

Your actually wrong Lol. But I’m glad your looking at the Bible! God bless!

[@starofjustice1]

When he stops looking at it maybe he'll start elevating himself. But elevation can't be forced, someone has to achieve it themselves.

[@Fimbulvinter19]

Another round of the Bible padding the word count by repeating the story wholesale. "And Jacob's sons told him of what happened in Egypt." There, one sentence that conveys everything ypu need to know.

@Bullets in Bacon Grease praise be the flying spaghetti monster. He boiled for our sins.

[@Fimbulvinter19]

@Bullets in Bacon Grease and its called correct spelling. You said they will boil down to him, not they will bow down to him, so that opened you up to the easy joke. I'm well aware of the dream he had, it's the literal reason this entire arc started, so yes, I do understand it is viewed as prophecy. What I don't understand is what your comment about it being prophecy has to do with my original comment about the Bible repeating itself unnecessarily. Joseph might know that his brothers did bowed to him as he had dreamed, but the brothers don't, nor did they tell Jacob that Joseph is alive, since they don't know it either. The second repetition to Jacob of what happened in Egypt conveys no new information to us the readers and could be trimmed down to a few lines without sacrificing any relevant meaning. This is partially what is meant when we say the Bible needs an editor; there is a lot of redundancy that serves only to pad the word count, not actually convey God's message.

Too much trolling in your argument to take you seriously. Trolls use clever sarcasm to win false arguments even if they know they are wrong.

[@starofjustice1]

Well, somebody missed the point.

[@threegrounds3566]

@@starofjustice1 Meh, he's clearly just stirring up trouble to get views and comments to make money through youtube. Hence the trolling factor.

Yes. That's the only possibility.

Dude, it wasnt a trip to your walmart 15 mins away. it was weeks of journey. it wasnt a trip across the friendly territories also. if you were carrying goods to trade or grain, you are a potential target for bandits who arent going to say, " your money or your life." they will just brutally kill you and take your stuffs.

[@GeneralArmorus]

maybe Israel is liek a surname

[@tkps]

That's how I see it. I mean we know Egypt was a famous kingdom. Where is Israel exactly (back then)? Seems to be one family wandering around Caanan.

[@visaman]

Israel and Ishmael.
