Genesis 43:30-34

30JosephH3130 then hurriedH4116 out, for 12he was deeplyH7356 stirredH3648 overH413 his brotherH251, and he lookedH1245 for a place to weepH1058; so he enteredH935 his chamberH2315 and 3weptH1058 thereH8033.

31Then he washedH7364 his faceH6440 and cameH3318 outH3318; and he 4controlledH662 himself and saidH559, “5ServeH7760 the mealH3899.”

32Then they servedH7760 him byH905 himselfH905, and 6Joseph’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 7abominationH8441 to the EgyptiansH4714.

33Now they 8were seatedH3427 beforeH6440 him, from 9the firstbornH1060 according to his birthrightH1062 to the youngestH6810 according to his youthH6812, and the menH376 lookedH8539 at oneH376 anotherH7453 inH8539 astonishmentH8539.

34Then he tookH5375 portionsH4864 to them from 10his own tableH6440, 11but Benjamin’sH1144 portionH4864 wasH7235 fiveH2568 timesH3027 as muchH7235 as anyH3605 of theirs. So they drankH8354 freelyH7937 with him.
