Genesis 43:27

25 Then they made the present ready for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.

26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and ^abowed down before him to the earth.

27 Then he asked them about their well-being, and said, “Is your father well, the old man ^aof whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”

28 And they answered, “Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive.” ^aAnd they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.

29 Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, ^ahis mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother ^bof whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
