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.”
30 Now ahis heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and bwept there.
31 Then he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, “Serve the abread.”
32 So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the aHebrews, for that is ban abomination to the Egyptians.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his abirthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.
34 Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin’s serving was afive times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.
