Genesis 43:25-32

25They were told they would be eating there, so they prepared their gifts for Joseph’s arrival at noon.

26When Joseph came home, they gave him the gifts they had brought him, then bowed low to the ground before him.

27After greeting them, he asked, “How is your father, the old man you spoke about? Is he still alive?”

28“Yes,” they replied. “Our father, your servant, is alive and well.” And they bowed low again.

29Then Joseph looked at his brother Benjamin, the son of his own mother. “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Joseph asked. “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Then Joseph hurried from the room because he was overcome with emotion for his brother. He went into his private room, where he broke down and wept.

31After washing his face, he came back out, keeping himself under control. Then he ordered, “Bring out the food!”

32The waiters served Joseph at his own table, and his brothers were served at a separate table. The Egyptians who ate with Joseph sat at their own table, because Egyptians despise Hebrews and refuse to eat with them.
