Genesis 43:31-34

31Then he washed his face and came out. He was in control of his emotions when he said, “Serve the food.”

32He was served separately from his brothers. The Egyptians who were there with him were also served separately, because they found it offensive to eat with Hebrews.

33The brothers were seated facing him according to their ages—from the oldest to the youngest. They looked at each other in amazement.

34Joseph had portions of food brought to them from his table, but Benjamin’s portion was five times more than any of the others. So they ate and drank with Joseph until they were drunk.
