Genesis 43:30-34

30JosephH3130 hurriedH4116 out becauseH3588 he was movedH3648H7356 to tearsH1245H1058 forH413 his brotherH251, and he wentH935 to a private roomH2315 to weepH1058H8033. 31Then he washedH7364 his faceH6440 and came back outH3318. Regaining his composureH662, he saidH559, “ServeH7760 the mealH3899.”

32They separately servedH7760 JosephH905, his brothers, and the EgyptiansH4713. They ateH398 separatelyH905 becauseH3588 the EgyptiansH4713 wouldH3201 notH3808 eatH398H3899 withH854 the HebrewsH5680, sinceH3588 thatH1931 was detestableH8441 to themH4713. 33They were seatedH3427 beforeH6440 Joseph in order by ageH1062H6812, from the firstbornH1060 to the youngestH6810, and the menH582 looked atH413 oneH376 anotherH7453 in astonishmentH8539. 34When the portionsH4864H854 were servedH5375 to themH413 from Joseph’s tableH6440, Benjamin’sH1144H4864 portionH4864 was fiveH2568 timesH3027 larger thanH7235 any of the othersH3605. So they feastedH8354 and drank freelyH7937 withH5973 Joseph.
