Context
43:23 “Everything is fine ,” the man in charge of Joseph’s household told them. “Don’t be afraid . Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks . I had your money .” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
43:24 The servant in charge brought the men into Joseph’s house . He gave them water , and they washed their feet . Then he gave food to their donkeys .
43:25 They got their gifts ready for Joseph’s arrival at noon , for they had heard that they were to have a meal there .
43:26 When Joseph came home , they presented him with the gifts they had brought inside , and they bowed down to the ground before him.
43:27 He asked them how they were doing. Then he said , “Is your aging father well , the one you spoke about? Is he still alive ?”
43:28 “Your servant our father is well ,” they replied . “He is still alive .” They bowed down in humility .
43:29 When Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin , his mother’s son , he said , “Is this your youngest brother , whom you told me about?” Then he said , “May God be gracious to you, my son .”
43:30 Joseph hurried out , for he was overcome by affection for his brother and was at the point of tears . So he went to his room and wept there .
43:31 Then he washed his face and came out . With composure he said , “Set out the food .”
43:32 They set a place for him, a separate place for his brothers, and another for the Egyptians who were eating with him. (The Egyptians are not able to eat with Hebrews , for the Egyptians think it is disgusting to do so.)
43:33 They sat before him, arranged by order of birth, beginning with the firstborn and ending with the youngest . The men looked at each other in astonishment .
43:34 He gave them portions of the food set before him , but the portion for Benjamin was five times greater than the portions for any of the others. They drank with Joseph until they all became drunk .
