Genesis 43:30-34

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. 33And they satH3427 before him, the first-born according to his birthrightH1062, and the youngestH6810 according to his youth: and the menH376 marvelled oneH376 with another. 34And he tookH5375 and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was fiveH2568 times so muchH7235 as any of theirs. And they drankH8354, and were merry with him.
