24 And the man will bring the men into Joseph's house, and will give water, and they will wash their feet; and he will give fodder to their asses. 25 And they will make ready the gift at the coming of Joseph at noon: for they heard that they shall eat bread there. 26 And Joseph will come to his house and they will bring to him the gift which is in their hand to the house, and they will worship towards him to the earth. 27 And he will ask them concerning peace, and he will say, Is it peace to your father, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet living? 28 And they will say, Peace to thy servant to our father, he is yet living: and they will bow down and worship. 29 And he will lift up his eyes and see his brother Benjamin, the son of his mother, and he will say, This your little brother of whom ye spake to me? and he will say, God will compassionate thee my son. 30 And Joseph will hasten; for his bowels will move to his brother: and he will seek to weep, and he will go to his store-chamber and will weep there. 31 And he will wash his face and come forth, and will restrain himself, and will say, Place bread. 32 And they will set for him alone, and for them alone, and the Egyptians eating with him, alone; for the Egyptians will not be able to eat bread with the Hebrews; for it is abomination to the Egyptians. 33 And they will set before him, the first-born, according to his seniority, and the small according to his minority: and the men will wonder each at his friend. 34 And he will take gifts from before him to them: and Benjamin's gift will increase above all their gifts, five parts. And they will drink and be intoxicated with him. Genesis 43:24-34, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
