PART XXXIV
"I, Joseph, the official in charge of the grain distribution here in Egypt... Looked around the room where my eleven brothers have gathered.... To them I am nothing more than a stern official... But in my heart I am their brother who longs to reveal myself to them.... However, I know that I must wait for God's direction....I must do everything according to His plan... And according to His timing.... I sense that the time has come for me to ask them about my youngest brother... It would be so good to know that he is right here in this room.... I may not yet be able to tell him how much I have missed seeing him.... But I can speak a blessing over him."....Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Jacob's youngest son Benjamin has indeed come to Egypt with his brothers....

GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD
PART XXXIV
The "Egyptian" official in charge of the grain distribution, who has joined the sons of Jacob, including their youngest brother Benjamin, looks around the room of his home in Egypt where they have gathered for a meal. Among them he notices a face he has not seen before and he wonders if this is perhaps his youngest brother Benjamin as you can read in Genesis 43:29
As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother's son, he asked, "Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
The sons of Jacob confirm that the one the official does not recognise is indeed their youngest brother Benjamin. The official then blesses him in a very specific way.
