Genesis 43:25-32

25Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.

26When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift they had carried into the house, and they bowed to the ground before him.

27He asked if they were well, and he said, “How is your elderly father that you told me about? Is he still alive?”

28They answered, “Your servant our father is well. He is still alive.” And they knelt low and paid homage to him.

29When he looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother that you told me about?” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Joseph hurried out because he was overcome with emotion for his brother, and he was about to weep. He went into an inner room and wept there.

31Then he washed his face and came out. Regaining his composure, he said, “Serve the meal.”

32They served him by himself, his brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews, since that is detestable to them.
