New King James Version
Genesis 43:26-34
26And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
27Then he asked them about their well-being, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
28And they answered, “Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.
29Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
30Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.
31Then he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, “Serve the bread.”
32So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
33And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.
34Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin’s serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.
