Genesis 43:25-32

25So they prepared the offering for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they had heard that they were going to eat there.

26When Joseph came home, they brought him the offering in their hand into the house, and they bowed down to the ground to him.

27Then he asked if they were well, and said, “Is he well—your elderly father that you told me about? Is he still alive?”

28“Your servant, our father, is well,” they said. “He’s still alive.” Then they knelt and bowed down.

29Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother whom you mentioned to me?” Then he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”

30Then Joseph hurried out because his compassion grew warm and tender toward his brother so that he wanted to cry. So he went into an inner room and wept there.

31Then he washed his face, came out, and controlled himself. “Serve the food,” he said.

32So they served him by himself, them by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves (for Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews because it was an abomination to Egyptians).
