Genesis 43:25-32

25And they madeH3559 readyH3559 the presentH4503 againstH935 JosephH3130 cameH935 at noonH6672: for they heardH8085 that they should eatH398 breadH3899 there.

26And when JosephH3130 cameH935 homeH1004, they broughtH935 him the presentH4503 whichH834 was in their handH3027 intoH935 the houseH1004, and bowedH7812 downH7812 themselvesH7812 to him to the earthH776.

27And he askedH7592 them of their welfareH7965, and saidH559, Is your fatherH1 wellH7965, the oldH2205 manH2205 of whomH834 ye spake? Is he yet aliveH2416?

28And they saidH559, Thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 is wellH7965, he is yet aliveH2416. And they bowedH7812 the head, and made obeisance.

29And he liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 BenjaminH1144 his brotherH251, his mother’sH517 sonH1121, and saidH559, Is this your youngestH6996 brotherH251, of whomH834 ye spake unto meH413? And he saidH559, GodH430 be gracious unto thee, my sonH1121.

30And JosephH3130 madeH4116 hasteH4116; for his bowels did yearn uponH935 his brotherH251: and he soughtH1245 whereH8033 to weepH1058; and he enteredH935 intoH413 his chamberH2315, and weptH1058 there.

31And he washedH7364 his faceH6440, and cameH3318 outH3318; and he refrained himselfH6440, and saidH559, SetH7760 on breadH3899.

32And they setH7760 on for him by himselfH1931, and for them by themselvesH905, and for the EgyptiansH4713, whichH1931 didH3808 eatH398 with him, by themselvesH905: becauseH3588 the EgyptiansH4713 might notH3808 eatH398 breadH3899 with the HebrewsH5680; for that is an abominationH8441 unto the EgyptiansH4713.
