26And when Joseph came into the house they brought the gift that was in their hand into the house to him, and they bowed down before him to the ground. 27And he greeted themg and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” 28And they said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they knelt and bowed down. 29Then he lifted up his eyes and saw Benjamin his brother, the son of his mother, and said, “Is this your youngest brother of whom you told me?” And he continued,h “God be gracious to you, my son.” 30Then Joseph hurried away,i being overcome with emotionj toward his brother, and sought for a place to cry. Then he went into a room and wept there. 31Then he washed his face and went out, now controlling himself, and said, “Serve the food.” 32And they served himk by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, for Egyptians could not dinel with Hebrews, because that was a detestable thing to Egyptians. 33And they were seated before him from the firstborn according to his birthright to the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one anotherm amazed. 34And portions were served to them from his table,n and the portion of Benjamin was five times greater than the portion of any of them. And they drank and became drunk with him.
