The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 132
Benjamin 2
When Joseph recognised his brother in Egypt, he asked what they had told their father about selling him.
1hen therefore I went into Egypt, and Joseph my brother recognised me, he said unto me, What did they tell my father in that they sold me?
2 And I said unto him, They dabbled thy coat with blood and sent it, and said, Look if this is the coat of thy son.
3 And he said to me, Even so, brother; for when the Ishmaelites took me, one of them stripped off my coat, and gave me a girdle, and scourged me, and bade me run.
4 And as he went away to hide my garment, a lion met him, and slew him; and so his fellows were afraid, and sold me to their companions.
