Sorry, my mistake, and interesting web site. Benny was innocent of that
evil, and as the youngest was the next "favorite." He was also the one that
Joseph, as Pharaoh's rep wielding the power of life-or-death in deciding
whether to bestow grain to the guilty brothers who'd come begging, demanded
and kept as a hostage in his revenge lesson to the bros.
