Genesis:43:26-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when Joseph came home ,
they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house ,
and bowed themselves to him to the earth .
*
And he asked them of their welfare ,
and said ,
Is your father well ,
the old man of whom ye spake ?
Is he yet alive ?
*
And they answered ,
Thy servant our father is in good health ,
he is yet alive .
And they bowed down their heads ,
and made obeisance .
*
And he lifted up his eyes ,
and saw his brother Benjamin ,
his mother '
s son ,
and said ,
Is this your younger brother ,
of whom ye spake unto me ?
And he said ,
God be gracious unto thee ,
my son .
*
And Joseph made haste ;
for his bowels did yearn upon his brother :
and he sought where to weep ;
and he entered into his chamber ,
and wept there .
*
And he washed his face ,
and went out ,
and refrained himself ,
and said ,
Set on bread .
*
And they set on for him by himself ,
and for them by themselves ,
and for the Egyptians ,
which did eat with him ,
by themselves :
because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews ;
for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians .
*
And they sat before him ,
the firstborn according to his birthright ,
and the youngest according to his youth :
and the men marvelled one at another .
*
And he took and sent messes unto them from before him :
but Benjamin '
s mess was five times so much as any of theirs .
And they drank ,
and were merry with him .
