Genesis 43:33

Genesis 43:33

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.
