Genesis 43:25-32

25They got their gifts ready for Joseph’s arrival at noon, for they had heard that they were to have a meal there.

26When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought inside, and they bowed down to the ground before him.

27He asked them how they were doing. Then he said, “Is your aging father well, the one you spoke about? Is he still alive?”

28“Your servant our father is well,” they replied. “He is still alive.” They bowed down in humility.

29When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he said, “Is this your youngest brother, whom you told me about?” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome by affection for his brother and was at the point of tears. So he went to his room and wept there.

31Then he washed his face and came out. With composure he said, “Set out the food.”

32They set a place for him, a separate place for his brothers, and another for the Egyptians who were eating with him. (The Egyptians are not able to eat with Hebrews, for the Egyptians think it is disgusting to do so.)
