Genesis 43:26–34

²⁶When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and ^fbowed down to him to the ground. ²⁷And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man ^gof whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” ²⁸They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they ^hbowed their heads and prostrated themselves. ²⁹And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, ⁱhis mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, ^gof whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!” ³⁰Then Joseph hurried out, for ^jhis compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and ^kwept there. ³¹Then he washed his face and came out. And ^lcontrolling himself he said, “Serve the food.” ³²They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews, for that is ^man 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 at one another in amazement. ³⁴ⁿPortions were taken to them from Joseph’s table, but Benjamin’s portion was ^ofive times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry² with him.
