Genesis 44:27 - Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin

And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

my wife bare me two sons: Rachel, Jacob's second wife, bare him his two youngest sons, Joseph and Benjamin. Jacob had twelve sons in all, listed by wife in order of their birth (Genesis 35:23 - 26):

• The sons of Leah were Reuben (the first born), Simeon (2nd), Levi (3rd), Judah (4th), Issachar (9th), and Zebulun (10th).
• The sons of Rachel were Joseph (11th ) and Benjamin (the youngest).
• The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, were Dan (5th) and Naphtali (6th).
• The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant, were Gad (7th) and Asher (8th).

Genesis 43:29 - Joseph's first time seeing Benjamin?

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.

Benjamin is Joseph's only full brother (Genesis 35:24). Some biblical scholars insist that Benjamin was born after Joseph was sold into Egypt. However, I believe that opinion is easily refuted with Genesis 35:22. In the end, it does not make a big difference.

Genesis 35:17-18 - Be careful of what you wish for.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

The midwife knew God would provide Rachel with another child because she remembered when Rachel named her firstborn Joseph and said, "May the LORD add to me another son" (Genesis 30:24 NIV). When Rachel had no children, she cried, "Give me children, or else I die" (Genesis 30:1); and one child wasn't enough, she had to have another and it cost her her life.

Genesis 31:41 - Jacob's Indignation With Laban

Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters - Jacob had agreed to serve seven years for Rachel but Laban deceived him into having to serve fourteen years; for after serving the seven years, Laban asserted that Jacob must first marry Leah because it was their custom that the older daughter marry fist (Genesis 29:26-27 NIV).

Genesis 24:45 - While they were yet speaking.

And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

Just as Eliezer found Isaac's wife, Joseph also found his wife by a well while on his way to Padamaram to find a wife of the daughters of Laban. And just as Rebekah appeared, Rachel also appeared at the same time she was being spoke of (Genesis 29:9).

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear, Isaiah 65:24.
