Genesis 43:26-34

26When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the gift which was in their hand, and they 1bowed down to the ground before him.

27Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, “2Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”

28And they said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” Then 3they bowed down again 4in homage.

29And as he raised his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he said, “Is this 5your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” Then he said, “6May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Joseph then hurried out, for 78he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he looked for a place to weep; so he entered his chamber and 9wept there.

31Then he washed his face and came out; and he 10controlled himself and said, “11Serve the meal.”

32Then they served him by himself, and 12Joseph’s brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an 13abomination to the Egyptians.

33Now they 14were seated before him, from 15the firstborn according to his birthright to the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

34Then he took portions to them from 16his own table, 17but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank freely with him.
