Genesis 43:30-34
30Joseph hurried out for 12he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he sought a place to weep; and he entered his chamber and 3wept there.
31Then he washed his face and came out; and he 4controlled himself and said, “5Serve the meal.”
32So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is 67loathsome to the Egyptians.
33Now they 8were seated before him, 9the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.
34He took portions to them from 10his own table, 11but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.
