24 And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.
25 And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.
26 And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?
27 And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.
28 Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.
29 Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.
30 Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.
