Genesis 43:33
The first-born according to his birthright - This must greatly astonish these brethren, to find themselves treated with so much ceremony, and at the same time with so much discernment of their respective ages.
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.
