Genesis 43:30-34
30Joseph then hurried out, for 12he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he looked for a place to weep; so he entered his chamber and 3wept there.
31Then he washed his face and came out; and he 4controlled himself and said, “5Serve the meal.”
32Then they served him by himself, and 6Joseph’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 7abomination to the Egyptians.
33Now they 8were seated before him, from 9the 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 10his own table, 11but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank freely with him.
