Genesis 43:25-32
25So they preparedH3559 1the giftH4503 2for Joseph’sH3130 arrivalH935 at noonH6672; for they had heardH8085 that they were to eatH398 3a mealH3899 thereH8033.
26When JosephH3130 cameH935 homeH1004, they broughtH935 into the houseH1004 to him the giftH4503 whichH834 was in their handH3027, and they 4bowedH2331 downH2331 to the groundH776 before him. 27Then he askedH7592 them about their welfareH7965, and saidH559, “5Is your oldH2205 fatherH1 wellH7965, of whomH834 you spokeH559? Is he stillH5750 aliveH2416?” 28And they saidH559, “Your servantH5650 our fatherH1 is wellH7965; he is stillH5750 aliveH2416.” Then 6they bowedH6915 downH6915 again 7inH2331 homageH2331. 29And as he raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 his brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, he saidH559, “Is thisH2088 8your youngestH6996 brotherH251, of whomH834 you spokeH559 to me?” Then he saidH559, “9May GodH430 beH2603 graciousH2603 to you, my sonH1121.” 30JosephH3130 then hurriedH4116 out, for 1011he was deeplyH7356 stirredH3648 overH413 his brotherH251, and he lookedH1245 for a place to weepH1058; so he enteredH935 his chamberH2315 and 12weptH1058 thereH8033. 31Then he washedH7364 his faceH6440 and cameH3318 outH3318; and he 13controlledH662 himself and saidH559, “14ServeH7760 the mealH3899.” 32Then they servedH7760 him byH905 himselfH905, and 15Joseph’s brothers byH905 themselvesH905, and the EgyptiansH4713 who ateH398 with him byH905 themselvesH905; becauseH3588 the EgyptiansH4713 couldH3201 not eatH398 breadH3899 with the HebrewsH5680, for that is an 16abominationH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714.
