The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 142
Benjamin 12
Benjamin charged his children to carry his bones from Egypt and bury him near his fathers at Hebron.
1nd when he finished his words, he said: I charge you, my children, carry up my bones out of Egypt, and bury me at Hebron, near my fathers.
2 So Benjamin died a hundred and twenty-five years old, in a good old age, and they placed him in a coffin.
3 And in the ninety-first year of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt, they and their brethren brought up the bones of their fathers secretly in a place which is called Canaan; and they buried them in Hebron, by the feet of their fathers.
4 And they returned from the land of Canaan, and dwelt in Egypt until the day of their departing from the land of Egypt.
