Genesis 43:25-32

25And they made readyH3559 the presentH4503 againstH5704 JosephH3130 cameH935 at noonH6672: for they heardH8085 that they should eatH398 breadH3899 there.

26And when JosephH3130 cameH935 homeH1004, they broughtH935 him the presentH4503 which was in their handH3027 into the houseH1004, and bowedH7812 themselves to him to the earthH776. 27And he askedH7592 them of their welfareH7965, and saidH559, Is your fatherH1 wellH7965, the old manH2205 of whom ye spakeH559? Is he yet aliveH2416?12 28And they answeredH559, Thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 is in good healthH7965, he is yet aliveH2416. And they bowed down their headsH6915, and made obeisanceH7812. 29And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 his brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, and saidH559, Is this your youngerH6996 brotherH251, of whom ye spakeH559 unto me? And he saidH559, GodH430 be graciousH2603 unto thee, my sonH1121. 30And JosephH3130 made hasteH4116; for his bowelsH7356 did yearnH3648 upon his brotherH251: and he soughtH1245 where to weepH1058; and he enteredH935 into his chamberH2315, and weptH1058 there. 31And he washedH7364 his faceH6440, and went outH3318, and refrainedH662 himself, and saidH559, Set onH7760 breadH3899. 32And they set onH7760 for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the EgyptiansH4713, which did eatH398 with him, by themselves: because the EgyptiansH4713 mightH3201 not eatH398 breadH3899 with the HebrewsH5680; for that is an abominationH8441 unto the EgyptiansH4714.
