26 When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down themselves to him to the earth.
27 He asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?"
28 They said, "Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive." They bowed the head, and did homage.
29 He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother`s son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" He said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
30 Joseph made haste; for his heart yearned over his brother: and he sought a place to weep; and he entered into his room, and wept there.
31 He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, "Serve the meal."
32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians, that ate with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians don`t eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
