Genesis 43:25-32

25And they made ready the present against Joseph’s comingH935 at noonH6672: for they heardH8085 that they should eatH398 breadH3899 there.

26And whenH834 JosephH3130 cameH935 home, they broughtH935 him the present which was in their handH3027 into the houseH1004, and bowedH7812 downH7812 themselves to him to the earthH776. 27And he askedH7592 them of their welfareH7965, and saidH559, Is your fatherH1 well, the oldH2205 manH2205 of whom ye spake? Is he yetH5750 aliveH2416? 28And they saidH559, Thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 is well, he is yetH5750 aliveH2416. And they bowedH7812 the head, and made obeisance. 29And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 his brotherH251, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, and saidH559, Is this your youngestH6996 brotherH251, of whom ye spake unto me? And he saidH559, GodH430 be gracious unto thee, my sonH1121. 30And JosephH3130 madeH4116 hasteH4116; for his heart yearned over his brotherH251: and he soughtH1245 where to weepH1058; and he entered into his chamberH2315, and weptH1058 there. 31And he washedH7364 his faceH6440, and cameH3318 out; and he refrained himself, and saidH559, SetH7760 on breadH3899. 32And they setH7760 on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the EgyptiansH4713, that did eatH398 with him, by themselves: because the EgyptiansH4713 might not eatH398 breadH3899 with the HebrewsH5680; for that is an abominationH8441 unto the EgyptiansH4713.
